This version of the radio control simulator is the latest non Steam required that resides only on ones computer. The application functions very well as a flight simulator with a properly configured controller. For my testing, I am using the retail version of the Interlink Elite that came with my earlier RealFlight G5 flight system.
After proper calibration of the controller, all primary flight controls, elevator, ailerons, rudder and throttle work flawlessly. Those familiar with R/C models will understand the calibration procedure. The application has many features some listed below with a status.
- Flight Activity: Runs great
- Aircraft/air Field Section: Works perfectly
- Aircraft and Air field Modification Editing: Crashes the app, but seems to have been fixed with Wine 9.1 and later.
- Environment Editing (wind speed/direction, turbulence, etc): Work great
5 Auxiliary Controls (landing gear, bomb bay doors, etc): Work with more detailed calibration required
When I requested to advocate this version of RealFlight, I rated it as 5 star because the simulation itself runs great but the app has a lot more features most of which work but for the crashing during model edit, I think a 4 star rating is more accurate overall.
