RealFlight G4 is so technologically advanced and so realistic, you’ll find it hard to believe that it’s only a simulation. The culmination of many years of development and design, G4 offers advancements that will serve to fine-tune flying the skills of even the most seasoned R/C veteran. If you’re an entry- level R/C-er, RealFlight G4 is the ideal way to learn to fly, practice maneuvers, feel the effects of design modifications, or just have an incredible amount of fun. RealFlight G4 includes over 50 models that look and fly like the real thing, plus a multitude of flying sites - each with their own unique ‘feel’ and distinctive characteristics. In addition, G4 offers its users the most powerful, most flexible aircraft and flying site editors ever unveiled to the modeling community, allowing modelers to experiment with a virtually unlimited number of parameters. G4 enables you to change the look and feel of a flying site with nothing more than a few keystrokes, the click of the mouse and a little imagination. The integrated AccuModel™ aircraft editor makes modifying aircraft just as easy. RealFlight G4 also offers a wide array of tools to help you understand how to use the program and how to improve your R/C piloting skills. This extensive manual file explains every feature and option as well as how to use them. Our Virtual Flight Instruction feature, Heli Hover Trainer, Airplane Hover Trainer, Takeoff and Landing Trainer and Heli Orientation Trainer provide on-the-fly learning opportunities, and our trained and dedicated Product Support staff is ready to provide help when you need it. No other R/C simulator goes further to enrich your R/C experience. The following section briefly outlines some of the exciting features in RealFlight G4. We strongly suggest that you peruse this manual in its entirety before running the software. Subsequent chapters will describe all RealFlight features in complete detail. Chapter 1 R 2 Finally, we’d like to express our gratitude to you for purchasing RealFlight G4. We think you will be enormously pleased with G4. Have fun flying! RealFlight G4 Feature Highlights This section briefly outlines some of the new features included in RealFlight G4 with the USB InterLink Elite Controller. RealFlight G4 and the multi-patented InterLink Elite Controller incorporate a significant number of enhancements and improvements over previous RealFlight systems. USB InterLink Elite Controller The InterLink Elite Controller by Futaba is a revolutionary device that offers you: • A high quality USB compatible plug and play controller for RealFlight G4. • A built-in interface for (optionally) using your own R/C transmitter to control RealFlight G4. • QuickSelect™ Buttons – take control of RealFlight’s menus and options from the InterLink Elite without touching the keyboard or mouse. • The InterLink Elite Controller is fully hot swappable — you can connect and disconnect the InterLin…

146 Remember that Channel Mapping is used to set the input channels for your transmitter. This means that you are setting the channels used to monitor physical movements or positions of your transmitter’s sticks, switches, and knobs. Unless you change transmitters, you should only need to set this once. Only use the Channel Mapping... menu item to tell RealFlight which channel your controller is using for each stick/knob/switch input, not what control function you want that stick/knob/switch to perform. The Software Radio controls mixing, exponential, and other channel processing that a computer radio would normally perform. The Software Radio determines the control function you want each stick/knob/switch setting to perform. You will most likely want to adjust this differently for various aircraft. For example, the mixing utilized for your glider will probably not be very useful on a jet. The Electronics options modify the servo properties (e.g., servo speed) as well as adjusting the input channels in the same way as the Channel Mapping... wizard. However, changes made using the Electronics options only apply to the particular aircraft that you are editing. Use the Electronics options only when you want to edit a specific servo property (like servo speed) or if for some reason you need to reassign an input channel for one aircraft only. In most cases, you should not need to do the latter. Instead, you should normally use the software radio to configure control outputs. A good rule of thumb: if a setting will not be the same for every aircraft, you should not try to implement the setting by using the Channel Mapping... menu item. Instead, adjust the Software Radio. 147 Events Menu Challenge your flying skills by competing in events, by yourself, or join others online. n event is an organized flying contest with a set of rules. RealFlight G4 supports five types of events: Autorotation/Deadstick, Free Style, Limbo, Pylon Racing and Spot Landing. You can participate in these events by yourself or compete with other RealFlight G4 users over the internet. To participate in an event alone, all you have to do is start the event. RealFlight G4 does the rest. If you want to compete with other RealFlight G4 users, you must first start a multiplayer session (or join an existing one). See the Multiplayer chapter for additional information on how to do so. When all of the participants have joined the session, the session host will start the event. This enrolls every member of the multiplayer session in the Event. If any multiplayer session members want to leave the event, they can do so while remaining a part of the multiplayer session. RealFlight G4 limits you to running only one event at a time. This rule also applies to multiplayer sessions. The Events menu accesses all events, and event-related options. When you open the menu, the items are: Chapter 8 A 148 • Autorotation/Deadstick • Freestyle • Limbo • Pylon Racing • Spot Landing • Options... • End Current Event • Forfeit Turn Some of these items may be grayed out if they do not apply to the current situation. For example, you cannot end the current event unless an event is already running. Consequently, the End Current Event menu item will be grayed out. 149 Autorotation/Deadstick The Autorotation/Deadstick event is similar to the Spot Landing event mentioned below. This event requires that you make a landing with all power off. The goal of this event is to land the airplane, or autorotate the helicopter, into the marked zones. The various landing zones have different point values assigned to them. Generally, the zones that are more difficult to target are awarded higher point values. If participating in a multiplayer event, the player with the highest points total at the end wins. It is possible to enable the software to “kill” the player’s engine when their aircraft passes a particular altitude. Selecting Your Name for the Event- If you have already entered a name in the Settings... menu item, this name will be utilized for single player and multiplayer events. If you have not entered a name, please do so in the space provided when you select an event. Click OK when completed. To select a different name for this event, click on the Simulation menu, followed by the Settings... menu item. Next, click the Multiplayer name. This brings up the 150 multiplayer options. Click the value found next to the Pilot Name item. Use the keyboard to input the name you wish to utilize for the events. Options- The Options... menu item adjusts the parameters and rules for each event. To access the Options... menu item, click the Events menu followed by the Options... menu item. Next, from the column on the left side, select the event that you wish to adjust. The selections that appear will depend upon the event selected. This section examines the selections available for the Autorotation/Deadstick Landing Options. Zone Point Values- Zones A through E- The landing zones are divided into five segments. In the default settings, each segment has a different point value assigned to it based upon degree of difficulty. Zone A is the smallest, most difficult target. Therefore, it offers the highest point value. Zone B, which surrounds the center, offers the second highest points, followed by Zone C, D and E. To adjust the values of these points, click on the values in the column to the right of the respective Zone Points. For example, to adjust the points for Zone A, click on the corresponding Value in the column next to Zone A. Enter the desired value directly from the keyboard or via the mouse wheel. Turns Per Event- This option determines the number of turns that each player is allotted per event. When each player has taken the designated number of turns, the event 151 is over. The only exception is if the host activates the Crash Eliminates Player setting. In this case, the event will end if all of the players crash before they reach the turn limit. To adjust the nu…
