Overview

RealFlight® is the #1 RC flight simulator in the world! It’s also the absolute best tool new RC pilots can use when learning how to fly. With 8 different trainer aircraft — including 2 helicopters from Blade® and 6 of the most popular airplanes from HobbyZone® and E-flite® — plus Virtual Flight Instructor lessons perfect for first-time pilots, RealFlight Trainer Edition has everything you need to succeed in learning to fly RC because you can practice "flying" on a computer before you fly your model at the field! This updated version* also includes additional features including nearly two dozen “Next Step After a Trainer” aircraft and variants plus 4 flying sites/fields that are unlockable reward content after you fly the trainer models for just 2–4 hours. Other added features include a fresh and modern user interface that’s even easier and more intuitive to use, multiplayer options so you can train and fly with others online, the option to turn on wind, unlock float flying, and more!

RealFlight Trainer Edition runs on a wide variety of PCs (Personal Computers) from low-cost laptops to “gaming” desktops running Windows® 10 or 11. It's available as software-only for use with a compatible USB-equipped transmitter including the Spektrum™ NX6 to NX20 – or the Spektrum InterLink® DX Simulator Controller, which connects directly to a USB port for easy plug-and-play use, and is modeled after Spektrum transmitters including all standard switch locations and functions so it works just like your favorite radio! It’s also available with the Spektrum WS2000 USB Dongle that’s compatible with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitters, like the DXS transmitter included with many of the most popular Ready-To-Fly (RTF) trainer aircraft, for wireless operation. It’s even available with a Spektrum SLT6 transmitter that can also be used to fly ultra-micro/UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) aircraft equipped with receivers featuring Spektrum SLT FHSS technology!

After you learn the basics of flying, RealFlight Trainer Edition also makes it possible to learn new maneuvers including aerobatics like loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight, and more. Plus you can upgrade to the latest full edition of RealFlight Evolution at a discounted price any time to fly more than 300 different aircraft — including airplanes, helicopters, drones, and more — at over 75 different flying sites to hone your skills so you become an even better pilot. With RealFlight Evolution you’ll also have the ability to purchase additional aircraft and sites, import user-generated files from the swap pages, and edit aircraft and sites so there’s an almost infinite number of flying options available. Add in game-like challenges that make ongoing flight training fun, compatibility with VR headsets, plus many more features, and you have even more ways to succeed at the field!

*If you purchased RealFlight Trainer Edition at any time you’ll receive a free update to this latest 2024 version! Internet connectivity is required to download the update via Steam starting on (or before) June 21st, 2024.
