I am a Remote Control Fixed Wing pilot and from experience I find the RealFlight products are the next best thing to actually being on the field. Without RealFlight, training to fly real RC aircraft would have taken a lot longer.

I have read some of the negative reviews here and all I can say is that the people writing them may be buying this product as a game and not using it as it was intended to be used, as a real world RC simulator and have not configured the interface to imitate real world conditions.

I have owned earlier version of this software since I started flying RC aircraft and to be truthful, thanks to Realflight I have probably saved thousands of dollars when it comes real aircraft. With the models available through the years and by setting the environment to real world conditions with real world glitches, I have been able to test fly aircraft I have thought about buying and test them in the environment to see how they handle on a controller and see if I really want to buy them.

I can also prepare flight routines for competitions and test them on aircraft I intend to fly to see if the aircraft can withstand stresses of the routine without breaking apart and fly the routine multiple times to get better at it in an environment that should I slip up, it isn't going to cost a grand or two on a real plane when it noses into the ground.

I do feel that the product is over priced on Steam, especially since it doesn't come with a Controller. Thankfully the Interlink (Elite) Controllers I have from the previous versions still work quite well with RF9, so I didn't have to rush out and spend another $89(US) on a controller.

My only experience with Realflight has been standing or sitting in front of a flat screen, but now with VR support, I can't wait to test it out in a VR environment on my Vive to see if the immersion will give me that Real Field experience that earlier versions lack.
