Welcome to Great Planes RealFlight®-Home of the ULTIMATE R/C flight simulator!

Fly anytime... day or night — the choice is yours!

With RealFlight G3.5, you can fly by the neon light of your own aircraft and orient by the lights on the field below. On the 3D Nighttime Carnival site, banking around the Starwheel gives you time to marvel at its “starburst” light show before you pass over the House of Horrors on the midway. Challenge your reflexes or test your skills at the nighttime version of the 3D Obstacle Course.

The best R/C flight sim gets even better — with these new G3.5 features!

Turn night time into flight time with this new RealFlight feature!

Fly any 3D site at night or in the daytime!

Add a simulated V-Pitch (variable pitch) prop and fly backwards or stand a plane on its nose and hold a motionless hover.

You can't fly through 3D objects or even bump into them without knocking them over. It's true action-reaction physics!

Allows you to concentrate on one control surface at a time (or a few select surfaces) while the computer controls the rest.

Over 120 lessons!
Ideal for entry-level heli pilots who want to move up fast!

Add the quantity, length and color you want anywhere on the aircraft.

Some flying sites contain features like tractor exhaust, chimney smoke, or a water fountain. These Sensory Environmental Elements (SEE) enhance your overall flying experience. You'll also see leaves move in the wind and dust clouds form when you crash in dirt. It's all part of the total flying experience created in RealFlight G3.5!

Like Sensory Environmental Elements, ambient sounds enrich your simulated flights with flying site realism you can see AND hear — for example, mooing cows or the engine noise from a nearby tractor.

Flying with friends gets even more realistic — now if you collide, both planes react in real time!

Never flown a heli before? Then learn skills by chasing the moving “ghost” heli. Advance level by level ‘til you're ready for the real thing.

Now over 50 aircraft to fly!

Now over 20 sites — and you can make any 3D site a daytime OR night-time flying experience!

Your favorite features continued from G3!

Over 5000 square miles of flying fun! The largest flying regions of any R/C simulator — created from hundreds of MB of satellite imagery and digital elevation data. You may run out of fuel before you run out of new scenery to explore. Choose from over 20 flying sites!	Backgrounds that are anything but static! Generation 3 goes far beyond the 2-dimensional, "billboard" look of other simulators. It's a living, breathing environment — fliers can immerse themselves in the realism! Trees sway in the background; clouds on the horizon follow the path of the prevailing winds; glare increases and subsides in relation to the position of the sun. Background objects even reflect off of the aircraft.	Incredible flight performance of RealPhysics 3D™! RealFlight G3.5's new RealPhysics 3D physics engine was put through demanding tests and trials by world-class modelers. They all agree that aircraft on G3.5 fly more realistically than ever before — in fact, this simulator sets unprecedented standards for accuracy in exciting high alpha flight!
Break-apart aircraft! As is the case in real R/C flying, modelers may shear a wing off of their aircraft if they are too careless. The aircraft continues its flight, while accurately reflecting the lost parts.	Accumodel^™ — An easier and more powerful Aircraft Editor! Any modifications that a pilot wants to make to a plane are graphically represented on the wire-frame model, and reflected instantly on-screen — just as the sound will change when swapping a 2-blade prop for a 3-blade, or changing pitch or diameter.	Unparalleled collision detection! Unlike other simulators that have just a few collision points, Generation 3 utilizes a triangle-to-triangle, impulse-based micro detection system that "blankets" the entire aircraft with a network of collision detection points.
Superior wind modeling! Instead of just one general wind field for the entire simulation, G3.5 features five wind fields to account for even the smallest detail! As winds collide, the strength and direction vary accordingly, and airplanes and gliders will feel the "bump" as they approach the top of the mountain or hill.	Frank Noll, Jr. — 4-time TOC Participant1999 Masters World Aerobatic Champion3rd, 4th & 5th place finisher in previous Masters. Top-notch teaching! The Virtual Flight Instructor (VFI) has been expanded and enhanced to include additional maneuvers for pilots of all skill levels. Experienced modelers will be able to learn high alpha 3D aerobatics from world-class pilots.	FlexiField^TM Airport creating that's easy to use! With "drag-and-drop" simplicity, modelers can create entirely new airports using the mouse and just a few keyboard strokes. Hundreds of objects to choose!
360° "walk-around" preview option! After the selected plane appears on screen, it revolves continuously. Using the mouse it can be viewed from any angle. When changing trim schemes, you immediately see the alternate model in the preview box.	The InterLink^™ Plus controller is new and improved! The MultiMode feature on the InterLink Plus controller allows you to connect an additional InterLink or standard radio transmitter to the simulation! A push button on the InterLink Plus controller allows for rapid, keyboard-free model reset.	Split-screen capability! G3's split-screen capability takes advantage of the InterLink Plus' Multi-Mode function. Multiple players on the same PC can fly together or conduct personalized training sessions.
Heads Up NavGuides^™! The NavGuide display allows you to view flight information right on the screen, including Altitude, Air Speed, Heading, and more. There are dozens of options that can be displayed.	MultiCam^™ Change viewpoints quickly and easily.View the action from anywhere you wish. MultiCam enables multiple Picture-in-Picture views looking at the same plane from different angles, an alternate view of the field, viewing different aircraft altogether, or anything you choose! Resize and position these anywhere you like on the screen. And with a simple click of the mouse you can change the camera angle of any viewpoint, including the main screen.	Advance flight recording and playback. You are able to record and play back you own flights. These recordings also make great use of the onscreen transmitter, allowing you to watch stick movements during the recording. And if you have a microphone attached to your computer, record audio at the same time, and RealFlight will automatically synchronize it during playback.
