RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator is the leading tool for learning to fly RC models, letting new pilots practice in a realistic virtual environment before heading to the field. It includes eight beginner-friendly trainer aircraft—two Blade helicopters with SAFE technology and six popular HobbyZone and E-flite airplanes—and guided Virtual Flight Instructor lessons designed to build confidence and reduce crashes as you master the basics. The software runs on Windows via Steam and connects to a transmitter through a USB interface or wireless dongle, so you can train with gear you already own.
After a few hours of practice, additional aircraft and four training sites unlock, with more content becoming available as you log more flight time. RealFlight Trainer Edition supports wind, float flying, and multiplayer, and there’s a discounted upgrade path to the full RealFlight Evolution edition for access to hundreds of aircraft and dozens of sites. Setup is straightforward through Steam, and it’s compatible with Spektrum transmitters when used with the included wireless dongle, making it easy to train with familiar hardware. Minimum system requirements include Windows 10 or 11, DirectX 11, 4 GB RAM and about 1.5 GB of free disk space (10 GB when upgrading to the full edition); for best results, 8 GB RAM and a capable graphics setup are recommended.
