PROGRAM FEATURES
SUMMARY OF FEATURES
• RealPhysics 3D - One of the most ambitious models of flight in the
world, RealPhysics 3D is untouched in its ability to re-create the
lifelike characteristics of model flying. RealFlight G3’s physics engine
has been tried and approved by world-class competition pilots like
Todd Bennett, Mike Cross, Pete Niotis, Frank Noll, and Jason
Shulman. Furthermore, aircraft in G3 behave with real-world
predictability because they are carefully modeled using advanced
methods and extensive real-world data. If it happens at the field or in
the air, it’s re-created in exacting detail in G3!
• “Full Coverage” collision detection- Instead of using sensors at only a
few points, “Full Coverage” blankets the entire aircraft with points
ensuring that every part of an aircraft will not only register a strike but
will react authentically. Contact can result in damage ranging from
minor handling problems to spectacular crashes -- complete with
realistic sound effects.
• TruFlo Wind Dynamics- RealFlight G3 introduces modelers to
R/C’s most realistic wind model. The five components of TruFlo Wind
Dynamics work together to create the single most accurate wind field in
any simulation. Wind impacts every facet of your flight, just as it
would at the local field.
