    Realistic RC Flight Simulator with lots of options
    This is by far the best RC Flight Simulator I ever had. I use to fly real ones, but aging does not forgive...so I moved back into RC and....WOW...!!! Technology evolved making it real cool..!I tried several cheap ones available over Steam, Also bought the Trainner one from this brand and it is as much easy to install as this one.For beginners, I rather suggest the Trainner for a while, then move to this complete version with so many options that you can not get bored.The controller makes the difference....dont try to fly without it....!!And is cheaper to crash a real plane / helicopter....10 out of 10...!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only way to learn how to fly an RC model aircraft.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
    Style: RealFlight 9.5Verified Purchase
    If you always wanted to learn how to fly a radio-controlled model airplane, helicopter or quad copter, but where afraid of failure, this product is by far the best way to achieve that goal. It is the most realistic RC flight simulator that I have ever experienced. Once you have mastered flying the Apprentice RC Trainer airplane on this flight simulator, you will have no problem flying the real Apprentice in real life. You learn by making mistakes, and this flight simulator makes it inexpensive and fun to learn from your mistakes. My only criticism of this product is that you will need to plug the Interlink DX Simulator Controller (the transmitter) into an unpowered USB 2.0 4 port hub (an $8.00 item at your local Best Buy or on Amazon) and then plug that USB 2.0 port into a USB 3.0 receptacle in your Windows 10 laptop or PC, otherwise you will not be able to use this product. No one seems to know why this solves the problem, but you will be having so much fun learning how to fly that you won't really care why it solves this problem. This product will not work with Apple computers. It also may not work with older PCs/laptops, so make sure your computer is capable of working with this software before placing your order. My HP laptop with Windows 10 is 2+ years old and it works fine with this software.

    I ordered this for my granddaughter and i to learn to fly R/C planes during this winter so we can really fly this spring. I ordered a laptop just for this program giving the specs for this system to HP. Here are the events that unfolded:
    *Everything went fine installing Steam.
    *Everything went fine to downlead the program using my key.
    *I attempted to click Play on the program. The program started, a plane on a runway came into view, a menu looked like it was loading but disappeared.
    *I attempted to contact Horizon Hobby, owner of this program. I could not speak to a real person. EVERYTHING was either done by email or chat. Not helpful at all.
    *I waited 4 days for Customer Service to call me but ended up trying the chat function.
    *After chatting, the rep seemed to know the issue and said he would send me what I needed. COOL!
    *The package arrives and I am eagerly looking to open it and start learning to fly. He sent me a USB hub. My problem was not connecting my radio to the laptop, the problem is the program stalls.
    *I go back to the chat function and the new rep says that he can see that someone is about to contact me, a "specialist" I'm thinking awesome! Just what I needed.
    *I waited and waited. I finally gave up and tried to install everything on my regular desktop computer. Maybe it was the laptop.
    *I installed everything onto my desktop and I could get it to work BUT, any time i would hit the ESC button for the menu to come up, an error would pop up and the program shuts down. Hey, at least we can use it a little bit.
    *I finally get a response from the "specialist" in email form of course telling me to look for a beta in the program. I had no idea what a beta was. I was on my own to search again.
    I found that the laptop liked the first beta and the desktop liked the 3rd beta however, both the laptop and desktop continue to have errors.
    *Save your money folks. I would look at other programs. This product should have never hit the market without proper testing. Not an enjoyable experience whatsoever. Buyer's remorse 100%
    Update 3/5/24. I am still fighting this simulator. I spend more time downloading and troubleshooting than flying. Do not buy this!

    I'm an experienced RC pilot who has used several earlier versions of RealFlight as well as some others. This is the best simulator you can buy. This latest version runs on Steam, which you must install and use to activate and download RealFlight. Honestly, this is very straight forward on any modern gaming laptop or desktop. (I am not sure why Horizon Hobby has chosen to go the Steam route, but it may have to due with controlling pirating.)

    I am.enjoying this. You must use a software called Steam, that is the hard part but I got it going in about 20 minutes.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Aparentemente buen producto que no se aprovecha al no disponer un manual de instrucciones en Español

    Aparentemente buen producto al que no se le puede sacar producto por no disponer un manual de instrucciones en Español. Es lamentable que aún se permita comercializar en Europa productos que no dispongan de un manual en el idioma del país en el que se pretende vender. Solo han cambiado los títulos de las cabeceras y ventanas, pero tienen un manual de 410 páginas SOLO en inglés. Lamentable. Eso afecta al uso correcto del producto que es un software.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Realistic RC Flight Simulator
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2020
    Style: RealFlight 9.5Verified Purchase
    Very happy with the realistic presentation and smoothness of this RC Flight Simulator. Reason for not giving 5 stars is that the software would not load from CD and had to download from the site. This is recognised on RealFlight site and is poor for what should be modern software and I expected better for the price. Also, some aspects of the installation are a bit 'old school' . Some niggles with a couple of buttons on the controller not matching with the Help for the InterLink Controller and the help video for the controller is the old RealFlight controller. Not sure if HH will see this to address in an update. Overall happy with the simulator itself and could do with some improvements and quality checks around the edges.
