RealFlight 9.5 / RF9.5 RC Flight Simulator

Please click "Show More" for links and more information.

RealFlight® is the #1 RC flight simulator in the world! It’s the absolute best tool new RC pilots can use when learning how to fly. It also makes it possible for experienced RC pilots to practice new maneuvers and to hone their skills so they can become even better pilots.

With more than 170 different aircraft to fly — including airplanes, helicopters, drones and more — at over 40 different flying sites, plus the ability to edit aircraft and sites, there’s an almost infinite number of flying options available. Add in game-like challenges that make flight training fun, multiplayer options so you can fly and compete with other pilots online, compatibility with VR headsets, and many, many more features, and you have everything you need to succeed at the field — because you can “fly” on a desktop at home, or on a laptop just about anywhere else!

RealFlight 9.5 adds more of the most popular aircraft from the Best Brands in RC, along with the AMA Headquarters’ International Aeromodeling Center (IAC) Flying Site 3 and additional Virtual Flight Instructor lessons, to deliver an experience you simply can’t find anywhere else. It’s also available with the Spektrum® InterLink® DX simulator controller modeled after Spektrum transmitters including all standard switch locations and functions so it works just like your favorite radio!

Winter is coming. My planes are going into hibernation soon. Thanks for the upgrade.

[jaysmith]

Thank you Horizon Hobby for including the AMA flying site from everyone at AMA!

I never thought I would be this excited about a sim release, but I am! lol

[bumblebeehead]

My favorite tool keep's getting better. Good job HHP !

[terryrunyon]

I got this for my birthday and I've definitely learned a few things. I have had rc cars for many years and I have been interested in airplanes for a long time. Hopefully this simulator will help to learn how to fly!

[jkflorida]

Pretty cool! Will all your current custom models carry over to RF9.5?

[ondubz]

Cool can't wait for my 9 to update. I saw the V1200🔥🔥🔥

[johnbortscheller]

I have a DXe transmitter... Should I get RF9 with the controller, or can I use the transmitter already owned? Pros/Cons of either choice?

[nextgen]

Will the Steam version of Realflight 9 be updated on October 1st?

[lauriavincenzo]

guys i already have real flight 7.5, can i take just software of 9.5 and use the radio from 7.5?

[michaelkeene]

Will the Air Tractor be added to the library of planes?

[MerryBoozerRC]

Yes!!!! The E-flite F-16 for the win can’t wait to play is the update available for all current owners of RF9?

[lennyz]

I only wish that they had instructions on how to install the 2 disc and the interlink transmitter were in the box. Install both disc and was fine till taking b switch out of safe mode. Crash! Come to find out that the controller needs to be plug in before downloading.

[marks]

Is there a way to enlarge the aircraft without changing its physics? Specifically in the “look at ground” view.

[BrockPlaysFortnite]

Awesome just got one this thing is insane

[Brian_ChristensenRC]

I have RF 9. I think it’s good for what I need. If there is an update though that would be cool.

[mrcollins]

I purchased the version with the transmitter. It is running slower than the older version 8.5. So I contacted the tech support and I am still waiting for help. I had to down load the software due to the fact that my disc would not load onto my computer. The upgrade so far was not worth it. Any help would be appreciated.

[nielst.]

Too bad the Eflite Carbon-z Cub ss 2.1 isn’t included. Can we expect it in an update soon??

[williamhoodtn]

Is the new E-flite Conscendo Evolution 1.5M going to be in V9.5?
