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.
