Default RE: How does my ability on sim affect real world

All the stock craft of Real Flight are made that way, but most of the good downloads from the knifeedge site are modeled to be physically accurate. It may not be 100% accurate, in that the takeoffs and landings are still going to be smoother and easier than in real life, but once the plane is in the air, it behaves very much like the real thing. For example, the Typhoon 2 3d is said to be very realistic in flight by people who own both the actual plane and the RF sim. If you go to the knife edge site, you can read very good tutorials on how to adjust the sim plane to fly more like the real thing so that the learning curve is reduced even further, i.e. move the COG, set the throw on the control surfaces, change the prop, engine torque, and the like. Every plane in the sim can be tweaked and adjusted to give the most realistic flight possible from an artificial source.
