Overview

RealFlight Trainer Edition is the world's #1 RC flight simulator, purpose-built for new RC pilots who want to learn to fly successfully in less time and with fewer crashes of their real models. Whether you're just discovering the world of RC aircraft for the first time or looking to improve your flying skills before taking to the field, this comprehensive software package delivers industry-leading True-To-Life physics that make every flight more lifelike than any other simulator available. The 2024 updated version features a fresh, modern user interface that's even easier and more intuitive to use, virtually eliminating the need for mouse or keyboard navigation when used with the included Spektrum SLT6 transmitter.

This complete package includes everything you need to start your RC flight training journey right away. You get 8 different trainer aircraft to master — including 2 helicopters from Blade and 6 of the most popular aeroplanes from HobbyZone and E-flite — plus dedicated Virtual Flight Instructor lessons designed specifically for first-time pilots. The software runs smoothly on standard Windows PCs and laptops, making it accessible to everyone regardless of their computer setup. Best of all, after just 2-4 hours of simulator flying time, you'll unlock nearly two dozen additional "Next Step" aircraft and variants, plus 4 additional flying sites to continue developing your skills.

RealFlight Trainer Edition is the perfect investment for anyone serious about RC aircraft. It allows you to practice "flying" safely on your computer before you fly your model at the field, building confidence and muscle memory whilst avoiding expensive crashes on your first real flights. This is essential preparation for UK RC pilots preparing to fly at their local RC club or flying field.

It includes Virtual Flight Instructor lessons tailored for first-time fliers, 8 beginner-friendly trainer aircraft equipped with SAFE Technology for stability, and a progressive unlock system that gradually introduces more challenging aircraft as you improve. You can practice fundamental flying skills safely on your computer before investing in real aircraft and risking expensive crashes.
• Can I use my existing transmitter with RealFlight Trainer Edition, or do I need the included SLT6? — RealFlight Trainer Edition is compatible with multiple controller options. You can use the included Spektrum SLT6 transmitter, a Spektrum InterLink DX Simulator Controller, a Spektrum NX series transmitter, other RealFlight-compatible controllers, or even standard gaming joysticks and gamepads. The SLT6 is included in this bundle and is specifically designed for simulator use, protecting your field transmitter from wear.
• What makes RealFlight's flight physics more realistic than other RC simulators? — RealFlight uses industry-leading True-To-Life physics engine that accurately models aerodynamic behaviour, control response, and flight characteristics. Every control input behaves exactly as it would in real-world flying, ensuring that skills learned in the simulator transfer directly to actual aircraft operation. The aerodynamic calculations remain high quality even on lower-specification computers.
• Can I fly with other people online using RealFlight Trainer Edition? — Yes, the updated 2024 version includes multiplayer options allowing you to train and fly with other RC pilots online. This is an excellent way to learn from experienced fliers and enjoy social flying without leaving your home.
• How long before I unlock additional aircraft and flying sites? — After just 2-4 hours of flying time on the simulator, you'll unlock nearly two dozen additional "Next Step" aircraft and variants, plus 4 extra flying sites. This progressive unlock system maintains motivation and ensures you're always working towards new content as you improve your skills.
• Can the Spektrum SLT6 transmitter be used for actual RC aircraft flying, or is it simulator-only? — The SLT6 can be used to fly real ultra-micro/UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) aircraft equipped with receivers featuring Spektrum SLT FHSS technology. This dual functionality makes it valuable beyond simulator practice, allowing you to eventually transition to real flying with the same transmitter you've trained with.
• What happens if I want to expand beyond the Trainer Edition to fly more aircraft? — RealFlight offers a discounted upgrade path to RealFlight Evolution at £69.99 (£30 off the full price). The Evolution edition includes over 300 different aircraft, 75+ flying sites, additional game-like challenges, VR headset compatibility, and the ability to purchase additional aircraft and sites, import user-generated files, and edit aircraft and sites for nearly infinite flying options.
• Is an internet connection required to play RealFlight, or just for installation? — An internet connection is required to download the Steam Client and RealFlight Trainer Edition software initially. However, RealFlight owners who purchased the software at any time will receive a free update to the latest 2024 version, with internet connectivity required to download that update via Steam starting on or before 21st June 2024.
• Can I install RealFlight Trainer Edition on multiple computers? — Yes, RealFlight can be installed on multiple PCs using your single Steam account. This is convenient if you want to practise on different computers at home, at work, or at your local RC club.
• Does RealFlight run on low-spec laptops, or do I need a gaming computer? — RealFlight runs on a wide variety of PCs from low-cost laptops to high-end gaming desktops, as long as they meet the minimum system requirements of Windows 10 or 11, an Intel or AMD processor, DirectX 11 capability, 4GB RAM, and 1.5GB hard drive space. Some graphical features may be disabled on lower-spec systems, but aerodynamic calculations remain high quality, ensuring authentic flight physics regardless of your hardware.
• Can I practise flying in challenging weather conditions like wind? — Yes, you can enable realistic wind simulation within the software, allowing you to practise flying in challenging conditions before taking your real aircraft to the field. This prepares you for real-world flying where wind is a constant factor UK pilots must contend with.
• Are there water landing options available in RealFlight Trainer Edition? — Yes, after 4 hours of flying time, you unlock Alpine Lake and the ability to practise float plane flying. This allows you to experience landing on water and expands your RC flying capabilities beyond traditional runway and field locations.
