The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players see RealFlight 8 as a serious RC training tool, not a game. Physics get mixed reviews: fixed-wing and helicopter models feel realistic to most, but heavy planes stall too late and quadcopter behavior is poor. The need for a compatible controller frustrates some, and a few report crashes or setup bugs. The map editor is a standout feature.
