i flew about 13 years ago and from what i remember, realflight "feels" pretty real, but to those whoe are currently flying, is it? Is my memory bad? i have been flying the pt40 w/os 46 fx on realflight, because that is what i will probably build for my plane to get back into the hobby, coupled with an os 46 fx. let me know how accurate you feel it is and any adjustments i can make to the plane to make it feel more accurate. i have the landings set to real and all the physics set to 100%.
thanks in advance,

it must be memorix, i actually learn to fly a few years ago on realflight. 3 days and nights of it and i soloed, it was not the pretties because of being so nervous once i got airborn. Even to this day i still spend 2 - 4 hours a week honing my skills for IMAC. So the sim. has been nothing short of great! for me.

I agree with krayzc, I think the G2 is very realistic. I fly pattern and giant IMAC planes and I have planes on the simulator that are virtually identical to flying my real planes at the field. I even edited a flying field to simulate my flying field. I have learned to do most all of the very difficult maneuvers like rolling circles and such on the simulator, then when I tried them for real, it was just like the simulator.

it is pretty good but not quite...
take the pt-40
go inverted and push up.
how many flat bottomed wing trainers you know that can do a outside loop that well.
for the most part it is accurate and it is a good tool to learn on (I have been practiceing my landings over and over on it and can grease a landing IRL about 95% of the time) but it isnt perfect.
who knows maybe "G3" will work on the flight characteristics more than the pretty graphics.
