How to fly 3D like a pro: Flight Simulator to fast-track your 3D flying

[@billclark5943]

Regarding tweaking the flight characteristics to get closer to realistic you can also increase the physics above 100%. Like 125%. I do this with a 100cc plane to get the response closer to my 67" 260

[@Sivaneswaran]

Pls make 3d tutorial like rolling harrier and rifle roll on mode 1

[@larryburrough7678]

Can you add more planes to real flight evolution then what it comes with

[@ClaudeFrancois-f2t]

how do i program RF evolution so aileron move together to do harrier

Hola una ves más amigo 😊. La verdad es que me parecieron bien interesantes los consejos sobre todo que esperar y que priorizar en el simulador para con luego la vida real. Debo darte toda la razón sobre dividir la práctica en varias sesiones de corta duración pues sin darme cuenta luego de cambiar mi radio pues adopté este estilo e increíblemente luego de 2 sesiones logré pasar de no hacer el rolling Harrier a poder hacerlo 😅. Por otra parte encontré interesante también la forma en que clasificaste las distintas maniobras (admitió que no comprendí mucho esa parte pues al mi idioma ser español la traducción es complicada pero no imposible) Añadir que hace poco más de un años practicaba en el real Flight 7.5 y luego que un amigo me invitó a practicar en el Phoenix, debo admitir que a mí parecer este último tenía mejores gráficos que el real Flight. Actualmente estoy practicando en uno muy básico y antiguo (aerofly 1.0.8) y pasé de hace muy bien en el real Flight 7.5 maniobras como hover a lograr hacerlas a duras penas en este nuevo simulador, me exige muchísimo más dominio del acelerador 😅, en conclusión es que a pesar de que sus gráficos son muy malos respecto a los simuladores que mencionaste, pues no me disgusta practicar en el pues me exige más control sobre todo del acelerador y gracias a esto creo que estoy un paso más próximo a ir mejorando mi nível en el vuelo 3D ya que el acelerador es fundamental para el mismo. Consejo para todos los que decidan tomar es que da igual el simulador que tengas practicar en el si va ha hacer la diferencia en tu aprendizaje, solo es cuestión de practicar y instruirse muy bien y esto último es muy fácil gracias a vídeos como este. Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺

[@profsacin]

Great explanation on physics comparison. Agreed.

[@justvinno]

@skyboundrc Did you end up making any changes since the video to the Extreme Flight Extra NG 104_EA model? If so can you please share what you changed or share the file. For us newer flyers that it gets closer to a real plane. Thanks and BTW, Great video series :)

[@skyboundrc]

hi! No changes since I made the video. The file in the description is still the same one I've been using (although I'll admit, I haven't had time to use the simulator lately). And thanks for the comment!

[@josemariadeandres3400]

Hey Juan, thank you for your great videos, keep it up!!! In my case, I am still using my old RF G3.5 version and I think is the closest one to the real thing! I trasitioned from G3.5 to G4 once, and there was a huge change in physics , the airplane felt more stable and floaty. With the G3.5 you will struggle more to be proficient at certain manouvers and it will help you a lot with the real world. The airplane I am using is the yak 54 3D. The others in KF swap pages feel very unrealistic to me

[@skyboundrc]

Thanks for sharing! That's interesting, if I get the chance of trying the 3.5 version I'll give it a go :-)

[@GenuineFlolie]

I am bound to Aerofly RC because it supports VR, which is highly recommendable if you are willing to spend the money on it. I use an RTX3080 and wifi 6 router with Steam vr. solid 120 fps. I guess a RTS 2080 will also do the trick. Basically you can tie any Transmitter to the application if the receiver supports USB mode. I do this via a betaflight FC, but there are many options.

[@craigdavis-ye5bw]

Hello do you have a link for the plane you are using? I’m on real flight 8. Thanks!

Just bought RF and this video is short, sweet and really helpful - thank you

[@samuimuscle]

Thanks you for making this public. Most of pilots at my club don’t know this.

[@luisvazquez5625]

Can you do a video on how to edit the flying characteristics of the Real Flight Planes throws, exponential etc etc.

[@oneonlynono]

Wow 😮what an Amazing Video 📹 love it ... thanks for doing that video 📹 was looking to buy a RC Flight ✈️ Simulator as a Rookie and looked what was the Best Flight Simulator to buy and found your Video... guess what i immediately bought one after lol... hope i won't regret the spent money... cheers

[@skyboundrc]

Glad you liked it! Let us know if you have any questions!

[@joeytavora1270]

The biggest limitation I find is getting good authentic snaps when I am practicing my imac. It doesn't simulate the inertia very well.

[@skyboundrc]

agreed, maneuvers with inertia are not quite right. Good enough to learn the basic movements, but definitely need to make some adjustments when using the actual plane

[@marior3alx]

Hi, thank you for this and all your interesting video. A question: which Remote Control system do you suggest to you with the simulator? Is the Spektrum Interlink Controller good enough? Thank you.

[@skyboundrc]

Hi! I use the Interlink X and works great for me. I've also tried connecting my Spektrum or FrSky actual receiver, but I prefer using the Interlink as I don't have to worry about battery or potentially dropping my transmitter from the desk

[@barelmarziano]

The aircraft does not open in the software

[@haroldanderson6021]

Thanks for the detailed info and your preferred model on RF EVO. I was thinking my setup on my plane was not right but your explanation helps me understand why I can't torque roll all day long like I can in Evolution. Or even mildly as well... :-) Thanks!

[@skyboundrc]

I'm glad the video was helpful. If you're able to torque roll all day long in Evolution, you're probably not very far from doing the same in real life! Good luck!

[@marklawson8029]

Great video . I have been using rf7.5 now for a while and consider the pau 35 edge as the only model that’s ok . I have tried to download different models from knife edge in past but failed . Do I need later version of rf ?

[@skyboundrc]

hi! What particular problem are you having? I think things should work for RF7.5. (at the very least, the models that are specific to RF7.5 forums.realflight.com/index.php?resources/categories/realflight-7-5.113/)

[@cannonjanes994]

Will it only work with a Spectrum TX or can you use an EDGE TX transmitter?

[@skyboundrc]

No idea about Edge TX, but I use it with FrSky without issues.

[@simonschumacher2271]

try the "Tanners Version" of the NG, pretty realisic

[@skyboundrc]

hey Simon, thanks for the suggestion! I just tried Tanner's NG and looks promising. The effects of airspeed in the roll rate feel much more realistic in Tanner's than Caua's. I will keep testing it more for a bit :-)

[@SeanPoulter]

How does it compare to Jase's models?

[@skyboundrc]

The NG is pretty different from Jase's model. When I tried Jase's edit, it felt completely different from what I'm used to with the real planes (specially regarding pitch authority), so I personally didn't really like it, but it clearly has been working out for Jase, so there's clearly a big part of personal preference in there :-)

[@enriquekramer4590]

Thank you for the very good video. I have a question, though. I have a new computer with Windows 11 in it. I cannot get it to run RF 9.5S in it (and AFAIK, the only version available now is the one running on the Steam platform). I get a desert flying field, with a Habu sitting on the runway. There is nothing I can do to get it past this stage. Asked Horizon Hobby Support, and after a lot of back and forth, they confessed that their old engine DirectX 9 is not compatible with Windows 11. I concluded that RF 9.5S would never run on my computer since HH is not prepared to make the investment to update the simulator. My question is: Do you have a trick to make it possible to run RF in a Windows 11-powered computer? Thank you!!!

[@skyboundrc]

hi! That sounds frustrating. I haven't used Windows 11, so I don't think I can help much here. You might have seen this already, but just in case, somebody from Realflight giving advice to people running into this problem forums.realflight.com/index.php?threads/rf-9-5-using-new-win-11-pro-os.58096/post-359785

[@enriquekramer4590]

@@skyboundrc Thank you for the prompt response! I had visited this forum -as well as many others (I could give you the rather long list.) It all results in the same: It is not going to work with Windows 11 because it is incompatible with DirectX 9. As you said: very frustrating! I tried getting somebody with authority at HH to come forward and give me a straight answer/solution and... you guessed it: crickets!!!

How do I get it to download the plane you suggested? I press download and it won't download it

[@skyboundrc]

Hi! I believe that you need to create an account (this is free) in that swap pages website and ensure you're logged in. Once you click download, it should either ask you to select a destination in your computer or automatically download it into your downloads folder. If that's not happening, your browser might be blocking the download for some reason...

Thank you for the info I will check it out. Awesome job on the videos .
