Info

FREESTYLE RealFlight G3’s Freestyle event lets you make the rules. When you start a Freestyle event, RealFlight G3 will allot every player a set of turns. Each player’s turn ends when that player’s time expires (or if the player crashes). When this occurs, the next player’s turn begins. What players do during their respective turns is completely up to the participants. We’ve included some possible freestyle examples below. Whatever activity you pick, RealFlight will see that each player receives a timed turn. You can use freestyle with any aircraft (airplanes or helis). 270 • Chapter 9. The Events Menu R/C Simulator RealFlight
SELECTING YOUR NAME FOR THE EVENT If you have already entered a name in the Settings… menu item, this name will be utilized for single player and multiplayer events. If you have not entered a name, please do so in the space provided when you select an event. Click OK when completed. To select a different name for this event, click on the Simulation menu, followed by the Settings… menu item. Next, click the Multiplayer name. This will bring up the multiplayer options. Click the value found next to the Your Name item. Use the keyboard to input the name you wish to utilize for the events. OPTIONS As the name suggests, the Options… menu item is used to adjust the parameters and rules for each of the Events. The Autorotation/Deadstick Event section discusses general notes for this option. This section examines the selections available for the Freestyle Options. TIME TO COMPLETE TURN (SEC)- This is the amount of time allotted to for players to complete their turn. Please note: the time begins at takeoff. To adjust the amount of time to complete the Event, click on the corresponding value. Enter the desired value directly from the keyboard or via the mouse wheel. TURNS PER EVENT- This option determines the number of turns that will be allotted to a player for the Event. The Event is over when each player has taken this number of turns, or sooner if the host activates the Crash Eliminates Player option and a crash occurs. To adjust the number of turns, click on the corresponding value. Enter the desired value directly from the keyboard or via the mouse wheel. R/C Simulator RealFlight Chapter 9. The Events Menu • 271
