RealFlight G3 Manual - Great Planes Software Support

Joystick
A device that connects to your computer to provide control input for the simulated
aircraft. The InterLink Plus controller that comes with RealFlight G3 is considered a
Joystick.
Joystick Emulation Interface
A term used to describe using your own radio to emulate the Interlink Joystick. This
allows you to use your own radio to fly any of the stock aircraft in RealFlight G3.
Actual radio functions such as mixing and ATVs are performed in the RealFlight
software, not on your radio. This is in contrast to the Direct Control Interface.
Joystick Mode
With RealFlight G3 set to this mode, RealFlight G3 is controlled by the InterLink
Plus controller used as a mockup of a R/C transmitter.
Limbo
An event (flying competition) in which pilots take turns flying their aircraft under a
Limbo bar. The pilot that clears the lowest bar height wins.
List Server
RealFlight G3’s Multiplayer function lets you publicly “post” your session, so that
any RealFlight G3 user, anywhere in the world, can find out about your session and
join you (assuming you have not reached the enrollment limit of your session). The
place where you post your session is called a List Server. Use of the List Server is
optional. You can preserve privacy by not posting your session, and privately
communicating your IP address to your selected multiplayer partners.
Please note that the free, public list server for use by RealFlight owners may be
modified or discontinued without notice at any time.
Low Rates
A switch on the radio that causes the servos move to much smaller extremes, thus
making the model respond more slowly to a given control input.
MultiMode
A G3 feature that allows two users to fly simultaneously on the same PC.
Multiplayer
A RealFlight G3 feature that uses Microsoft's DirectX technology to connect with
other RealFlight G3 users over a network.
