• Update: RealFlight Trainer Edition 1.50.244 - 24 July 2026

  RealFlight version 1.50.224 is now available as a free release for all Trainer Edition users. It adds a tutorial to jump-start new users, two tutorial-related Steam achievements, and the Blade Revolution 235 CP heli. It also corrects a drift issue for helis in SAFE mode. The New User Tutorial system is designed to help brand-new pilots get started, both with RealFlight and radio-controlled flight in general. That is a lot of ground to cover, but the tutorial does it in an easily digestible way. It includes: A new set of videos explaining the basics of using the simulator Two new sets of training lessons demonstrating the fundamentals of flight (one each for airplanes and helicopters) Two new challenges that walk users through the first steps of piloting a model themselves (one each for airplanes and helicopters). Many levels only allow control over one or two inputs, adding more as the…

• Update: RealFlight Trainer Edition 1.50.209 - 21 April 2026

  RealFlight Trainer Edition version 1.50.209 is now available as a free release for all Trainer Edition users. It adds support for the new Spektrum WS3000T and various other improvements. When it comes to using your own transmitter with RealFlight, the new Spektrum WS3000T Wireless Simulator USB Dongle is a game changer. For radios that support Smart Transmitter Files, the WS3000T sends an STF to the transmitter that automatically configures it for RealFlight. Then, RealFlight detects the WS3000T and automatically selects the correct radio profile. The whole thing becomes a true plug & play process, eliminating complicated user setup to get you flying faster and more successfully! If your radio does not support Smart Transmitter Files, that’s okay. The WS3000T retains the same broad Spektrum DSMX and DSM2 compatibility as the WS1000 & WS2000 before it. However, it improves on them by sup…

• RealFlight Trainer Edition Update: 1.00.034 is now live - 8 December 2023

  RealFlight Trainer Edition version 1.00.034 is now available as a free release for all RFTE and RFTE: Trial Version users! This update adds support for the Spektrum MLP6DSM via direct USB connection. Using the MLP6DSM wirelessly with a WS1000/WS2000 dongle was already supported through the “Spektrum Receiver (MLP6DSM)” controller profile. Now, connecting the MLP6DSM via its USB port is also supported natively. RealFlight recognizes the radio and automatically selects the new “Spektrum MLP6DSM (Wired USB)” controller profile for it. If you have already run with your MLP6DSM connected through USB in an earlier version of Trainer Edition, the autodetection will not happen. There are two ways to start using the new profile: Select Simulation -> Select Controller…, expand the “Profile” dropdown control, and manually select the new controller profile. Select Help -> Reset To Defaults… This wi…
