From the Bench: RealFlight 8 Horizon Hobby Edition -- Review, Game Play, & Fun!

Welcome back guys! In this video, my son and I put Real Flight 8 Horizon Hobby Edition through its paces giving a little review and showing some of the game play. This sim has some really fun features including interactive scenery which we had a little fun with. Will a Corsair fly without wings?? What does the "F" button do?? Well, we find out! ;) If you don't have a simulator, I highly recommend it, especially if you're learning.

Thanks buddy, great video just bought it about an hour ago for learning acro stuff cheaply on a quad.

ok im adding to this comment....You guys had me in hysterics the first 14 minutes especially when the plane your son was flying slowly and hilarously started to come apart with the "F" key !! ahahahaha "your "F"d for sure!!Thanks!!

Man, if I had this to learn on my PZ sport cub would probably look a whole lot better.I'm ready for another airplane, but am still learning, the cub needs to be hung up, but the smart thing would be to get this.My brother just got one for Christmas, maybe I will try his out.I also just saw this on display at my local hobby shop, and my son jumped on it and did pretty good for never flying.I'm very impressed with this, now if the smart thing happens, or if I will show my smarts again and buy a Timber, which I really like! My flying is getting better, maybe buy both! Thanks Chris!!

Excellent !
A good RC sim like this is a smart investment .
Learn, advance, maintain flying skills ...and as you have proven good for a few laughs too !! If your serious about flying a is a must.

[FatGuyFliesRC]

Lots of fun, great value to learn on!!

I've been given a copy of Phoenix 4 sim and a DX6i transmitter and it seems that the image of the plane fades quickly and it is hard to distinguish up from down or right from left but your video with your sim is so much BETTER ???

To get the safe select plus do I have to buy a gps moduel along with the At 636a RX?

[mattshellback]

Yup, looked just like my family sim flying - kids with the "F" key giggles and dad hogging the TX. ;)

[radioflitercairplanes]

When I worked at the hobby shop, I always sold a sim to guys looking to get into Flyimg R/C ...many just wanted to buy a plane and fill the cart with all the goodies ..but they were all VERY thankful I was pushy about investing in a Realflight sim.
Great sim, awesome learning/ practice tool !
Bags of fun !

besides a few extra planes, is there any difference between horizion hobby version and non ...besides the 50$ price diff?

[Jazzman-bjfq]

The RF simulator is awesome... You can fly any day of the week, doesn't matter if it's day or night, good or bad weather and you can crash for free, lol. I think it's great for any aspiring rc pilot especially to help take the fear out of landings. From all the crash videos I watch, I think a lot of folks use their real rc planes to practice crashes.

Is there a way to go wireless on realflight 8, using a controller you would use flying a real rc plain?

[hobbyman]

Don, I have an older version of this I bought from a yard sale without a CD-ROM, can I get an updated one?

[vnexproductiontv]

Can i run this software somehow on a Mac?

[neopositivity]

Can anyone tell me if the Timber on this sim flies even remotely close to the timber x. I've never flown the original timber so I don't know if it flies the same or a little less smooth or what. I absolutely love my Timber x but it's a cold wet February. I'll buy this sim just for that. I have RF 7.5 with interlink now and I love it.
Is it worth buying the 8?
or is there a plane in 7.5 that flies like the timber x?
I've been trying them 1 at a time and haven't found one yet. there's a bunch.

[rileyhowe]

Any chance you could mention your exact pc used as I want to get this sim as I lost my old one on my old pc so what is the model of the PC your using ?

[jelly]

Is the computer you’re using available on the retail market, or is it a custom pc?

[earsmouth]

I'm about to buy a trainer, does RealFlight 8 create real life flying situations like crosswinds, unexpected wind gusts, stalls, nose crashes and other situations that really occur when flying?

[matk]

I’ve been looking at this 🤔
I’m currently using Phoenix 5.5. Would it be worth updating to this one ? As I fly Spektrum & mostly Horizon planes
Cool review 🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

[dannyhelton]

Their great but don’t get to far away. I think they are harder to line up with the runway then the real thing.
