[Phil Penderyn]

Thank you so much, that was extremely simple to do when explained ;0) much appreciated Thanks again.

@SquirrelTail I absolutely love flying the FT Edge! That's been the main reason I have been able to improve flying 3D as much as I have!

Hi and thanks for adding FT Edge to realflight, really nice work. I have imported into RF9 and it seems to work fine. I am a beginner for flying aerobatics so I am building my first FT Edge 120% to learn.
I would like to ask you how similar is the simulator to real flying?

If you're learning, I'll suggest keeping the plane in sim on low rates. That's still closer to high rates on the real thing with 9g servos. Apart from that, flight characteristics should be fairly close.

To answer your question, even the best sims will have their quirks, and won't be 100% accurate. Sims are most useful to set muscle memory, whether you're learning figures-of-8 or weeble wobbles. There'll still be a learning curve when transferring that knowledge to rc flying in real life, except you're getting a head start and reducing the chances of you crashing your plane.

I agree with you, after flying with the similator for more than a month, I flew my first model plane and was able to take off and land without any problem.
What do you mean "keeping the plane in sim on low rates" do I have to configure something on the simulator ?

Realflight allows you to switch rates. Check your channel assignments to find the button on your transmitter that's assigned to that feature! Have fun!

Hey can someone tell me how to host a multiplayer streamer battle on RF 7.5?

I just configure the rates on the actual transmitter

I use Phoenix... So Idk... But maybe I could host a live flyin 😂 on Phoenix...

Any chance of getting the FT Legacy V2 for RealFlight?

you could design it yourself on there, but otherwisse, it came out too soon to have someone create it yet.

How would one go about that?

you have to have a cad 3d model, and then you import it into realflight airplane designer. There i=are a couple of youtube tutorials. I liked the one from nodd rc.

 

[Swissspeed]

The archives seem to be gone off of Knife Edge.... anyone know where they can be found?

 

[rickylc]

Bump for same question as above, are the knife edge models available anywhere?

A huge thank you goes to AlternativeRC for stepping up to the plate with the required (outdated) software and skill to make it happen. He will be working his way through the existing FliteTest models I created for Phoenix RC and converting them for RealFlight 7.5. The wait is over, people!

FliteTest planes are now (FINALLY!) being ported to RealFlight 7.5. This post will be updated regularly as more planes are converted.

To install:

• Click the link below for the plane you want.
• Save the RFX file in a location you'll be able to find it.
• In RealFlight click Simulation > Import > RealFlight Archive (RFX, G3X)...
• Locate the RFX file you saved.
• Click Open and fly!

I intend to build the FT Tutor MKR2 with Turbo Wing Kit, and I'd like to practice flying using RealFlight Evolution, but the FT Tutor is not an available model. Which would be the closest model to use? Would it be the FT Storch?

Maybe something like a timber could be quite accurate, the timber flies a bit floater but still around the same start with an apprentice working your way down to gyro off and then try something else like a timber
