- Update: RealFlight Evolution 10.10.208 - 16 April 2026
RealFlight version 10.10.208 is now available as a free release for all Evolution users. It adds support for the new Spektrum WS3000T plus a few improvements and aircraft setup tweaks. 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 suppo…

- Update: RealFlight Evolution 10.10.203 - 20 March 2026
RealFlight version 10.10.203 is now available as a free release for all Evolution users. It includes numerous improvements and bug fixes as well as support for 2026 Quarterly Content Pack 1 DLC. Some noteworthy “quality of life” improvements: ______ Users who are new to the RealFlight Swap Pages sometimes download and import an Aircraft Variant that is based on a custom Entire Aircraft without downloading that required additional content. They end up with a vehicle that doesn’t work and no understanding of why or what to do about it. RealFlight now prevents that situation. ______ Imported AVs and EAs are now treated more like stock content and afforded many of the same protections. This guards against two things: Editing someone else's work and saving it with the same name, overwriting the original version. And, since the original version can’t be overwritten in the first place, this av…

It also includes numerous improvements and bug fixes, primarily related to the user interface. Airplane Hover Training I & II use a step-by-step approach within the challenge system framework to teach you how to hover an airplane. At the very end of either one you can progress beyond a standard hover and learn to torque roll as well. The two challenges are essentially identical to each other, with Airplane Hover Training I operating at 50% physics speed. This setup provides a gentler onramp for pilots who need a little more time to react and develop the correct responses to what the plane is doing moment by moment. Pilots can skip straight to Airplane Hover Training II. The goal is of course to master the skills at full speed. Release No…
