Getting Started With REALFLIGHT 7.5
Before a new flyer gets out and flies an expensive quadcopter, it is a good idea to
do some practice in a simulation. That is where Realflight 7.5 comes in. Realflight is a
highly detailed RC UAV simulator that can be used for planes, gliders, and helicopters.
To install the program on a new computer, the disk and activation code with it are
needed. For use at S&T, IT is needed to perform the installation.
When the software is running, one can immediately get started flying. Just choose
a quadcopter to fly and choose an environment and get started. If the software is running
on an old and slow computer, reduce the graphics settings to minimum. Select
Simulation→ Graphics→ Low from the menu at the top right of the flight screen (Figure
2). Also, be sure that the simulation is running on realistic physics by selecting
Simulation→ Physics→ Realistic
