RealFlight 9.5 RC Flight Simulator
Trails-
Trails, as the name implies, will create a trail or pathway through the sky depicting all facets
of flight for the aircraft. This feature is very useful for F3A pattern pilots and FAI heli pilots as
well as those modelers wanting to see how precise their maneuvers truly are.
Think you’re a precision pilot? You might be able to fool the judges at a contest, but you can’t
change reality in RealFlight. With RealFlight’s Trails feature, the pathway initiates from the
wingtips of an airplane model and from the main rotorblades of a helicopter and remains in
the sky for the duration of the flight, allowing modelers to thoroughly review their trail from
start to finish. If you stray even a fraction from straight-and-level, or your loops aren’t exactly
round, the evidence is onscreen.
You will also find this feature very useful when used in combination with the Sky Grid feature
mentioned above.
To enable Trails, click the View menu title, then the Effects sub-menu. Then, click the Trails
menu item.
Rotary Trails-
Rotary Trails function similarly to the Trails feature, except it highlights the path of the prop
of the airplane or main rotor of the heli; additionally, the rotary trails do not remain onscreen
throughout the flight.
To enable Rotary Trails, click the View menu title, followed by the Effects sub-menu. Then,
click the Rotary Trails menu item.
Wind Field Indicators-
Flying at sites designed for practicing thermal and slope soaring flight, Wind Field Indicators
will display where the updrafts are located and their direction. To practice real-world
scenarios, you may wish to turn off these indicators.
To enable Wind Field Indicators, click the View menu title, followed by the Effects sub-menu.
Then, click the Wind Field Indicators menu item.
