Default RE: Realflight Pattern Practice Field - give it a try.


ORIGINAL: highfly3D

Has any one tried Aerofly 5 for pattern flying?? have heard a lot about it & also you can see many videos of this on you tube site.
I have Aerofly 5. I'm nowhere near good enough to be called a pattern flyer, but I am trying to learn precision moves on AF5, using the Visa pattern plane, and an Osiris 47 at the field. I tried RF6 at the hobby store today, and I was shocked at how clunky and unrealistic it seemed by comparison. AF5 has fewer whistles and bells: No reset button, no smoke, no virtual grid, for example. But the physics and graphics seem lightyears ahead of RF to me. Also, AF5 runs native on my Mac. I'm surprised it isn't more popular.
