How to fly 3D like a pro: Flight Simulator to fast-track your 3D flying

Your flight simulator can be your ticket towards quickly learning new 3D maneuvers and improving your aerobatic skills much faster. In this video you'll learn everything you need to know to make the most of your flight simulator, from which simulator to buy, airplane selection to what to expect when transitioning from simulator to real life.

Just bought RF and this video is short, sweet and really helpful - thank you

Hey Juan, your videos are great. I think they are some of the best out there, and very current. Nice work.

Regarding tweaking the flight characteristics to get closer to realistic you can also increase the physics above 100%. Like 125%. I do this with a 100cc plane to get the response closer to my 67" 260

Thanks you for making this public. Most of pilots at my club don’t know this.

[profsacin]

Great explanation on physics comparison. Agreed.

Hey Juan, thank you for your great videos, keep it up!!!
In my case, I am still using my old RF G3.5 version and I think is the closest one to the real thing! I trasitioned from G3.5 to G4 once, and there was a huge change in physics, the airplane felt more stable and floaty. With the G3.5 you will struggle more to be proficient at certain manouvers and it will help you a lot with the real world. The airplane I am using is the yak 54 3D. The others in KF swap pages feel very unrealistic to me

Thanks for the detailed info and your preferred model on RF EVO. I was thinking my setup on my plane was not right but your explanation helps me understand why I can't torque roll all day long like I can in Evolution. Or even mildly as well... :-) Thanks!

I've been flying the flex edge 540 and really enjoy that one

Hola una ves más amigo 😊.
La verdad es que me parecieron bien interesantes los consejos sobre todo que esperar y que priorizar en el simulador para con luego la vida real.

Debo darte toda la razón sobre dividir la práctica en varias sesiones de corta duración pues sin darme cuenta luego de cambiar mi radio pues adopté este estilo e increíblemente luego de 2 sesiones logré pasar de no hacer el rolling Harrier a poder hacerlo 😅.

Por otra parte encontré interesante también la forma en que clasificaste las distintas maniobras (admitió que no comprendí mucho esa parte pues al mi idioma ser español la traducción es complicada pero no imposible)


Añadir que hace poco más de un años practicaba en el real Flight 7.5 y luego que un amigo me invitó a practicar en el Phoenix, debo admitir que a mí parecer este último tenía mejores gráficos que el real Flight.
Actualmente estoy practicando en uno muy básico y antiguo (aerofly 1.0.8) y pasé de hace muy bien en el real Flight 7.5 maniobras como hover a lograr hacerlas a duras penas en este nuevo simulador, me exige muchísimo más dominio del acelerador 😅, en conclusión es que a pesar de que sus gráficos son muy malos respecto a los simuladores que mencionaste, pues no me disgusta practicar en el pues me exige más control sobre todo del acelerador y gracias a esto creo que estoy un paso más próximo a ir mejorando mi nível en el vuelo 3D ya que el acelerador es fundamental para el mismo.

Consejo para todos los que decidan tomar es que da igual el simulador que tengas practicar en el si va ha hacer la diferencia en tu aprendizaje, solo es cuestión de practicar y instruirse muy bien y esto último es muy fácil gracias a vídeos como este.


Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺

Wow 😮what an Amazing Video 📹 love it ... thanks for doing that video 📹 was looking to buy a RC Flight ✈️ Simulator as a Rookie and looked what was the Best Flight Simulator to buy and found your Video... guess what i immediately bought one after lol... hope i won't regret the spent money... cheers

I am bound to Aerofly RC because it supports VR, which is highly recommendable if you are willing to spend the money on it. I use an RTX3080 and wifi 6 router with Steam vr. solid 120 fps. I guess a RTS 2080 will also do the trick. Basically you can tie any Transmitter to the application if the receiver supports USB mode. I do this via a betaflight FC, but there are many options.

[FrenchRacer]

Nicely done ! Thank you for doing this

[luisvazquez]

Can you do a video on how to edit the flying characteristics of the Real Flight Planes throws, exponential etc etc.

[justvinno]

@skyboundrc Did you end up making any changes since the video to the Extreme Flight Extra NG 104_EA model? If so can you please share what you changed or share the file. For us newer flyers that it gets closer to a real plane. Thanks and BTW, Great video series :)

[joeytavora]

The biggest limitation I find is getting good authentic snaps when I am practicing my imac. It doesn't simulate the inertia very well.

[simonschumacher]

try the "Tanners Version" of the NG, pretty realisic

[marioralx]

Hi, thank you for this and all your interesting video. A question: which Remote Control system do you suggest to you with the simulator? Is the Spektrum Interlink Controller good enough? Thank you.

[mqokbti]

how do i program RF evolution so aileron move together to do harrier

[marklawson]

Great video . I have been using rf7.5 now for a while and consider the pau 35 edge as the only model that’s ok . I have tried to download different models from knife edge in past but failed . Do I need later version of rf ?

[cannonjanes]

Will it only work with a Spectrum TX or can you use an EDGE TX transmitter?
