## What is RC?

Learn to fly r/c model airplanes with this realistic flight simulator! 

RC-AirSim has been used successfully by many r/c pilots to learn how to fly a model airplane. RC-AirSim has more realistic flight dynamics and ground handling than most of the much more expensive r/c flight sims.

This Full Version of RC-AirSim features:

· Many different model airplanes to fly including: F-15 Fighter Jet, WWI Biplane, Glider, Electric Parkflyer, Aerobatic Planes, and a Trainer.
· Realistic r/c model airplane flight aerodynamics based on NASA flight simulation technology.
· MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) Twin-Stick Game Controller support.
· Accurate landing and ground handling simulation.
· Awesome crashes! Planes break apart in a physics-based manner.
· 4 channel control: aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle.
· 3 view options: R/C (Third person), Following (Chase cam), and Onboard camera (FPV)
· 3 control modes: Mode 2 (default), Mode 1, and 3 Channel.
· Field objects to avoid and fly behind. 
· Doppler-correct sound.
· Touch Points or On-screen Transmitter Sticks control options.
· Get flying quickly! No slow, tedious menus or multiple load screens.

Please Note: RC-AirSim is a realistic r/c model airplane flight simulator, NOT an arcade game. And like a real model airplane, it will take some practice to master the basics. Luckily, in RC-AirSim, plane crashes are free (and fun)!  Pro Tip: If you are a novice r/c pilot, start with the Slowmowatt in 3 Channel control mode.

RC-AirSim is a favorite of radio-controlled model airplane pilots worldwide because it excels where it matters most: realistic flight dynamics and aerodynamics!

Tired of "simulators" that feel unrealistic and fly like an arcade game? Try RC-AirSim! Experienced R/C pilots say that RC-AirSim feels and flies like an actual r/c model airplane! R/C pilots, don't let your skills get rusty when you are away from the flying field: practice with RC-AirSim. New to the hobby of r/c model airplanes? Learn on RC-AirSim first and make the maiden flight of your first r/c plane a successful one.

RC-AirSim R/C Aircraft:

· F-15 Regal Eagle
Large gas powered ducted fan military jet.  4 Channel control.

· WWI Flying Ace
Electric scale biplane based on the historic World War I Fokker D.VII. Moving control surfaces and spinning prop. Comes with two paint schemes: Red/White or Blue/Green Lozenge. 4 Channel control. 

· Back 40 Trainer
Classic 4 channel high-wing trainer with plenty of dihedral for beginners. Powered by a .40 size gas engine.

· Slowmowatt
Electric park flyer. Flies very slow so there is plenty of time to react. Easiest to fly! Perfect for beginners using the 3 Channel control mode. 4 channel control available.

· Double Helix
Low wing electric sport plane. A great choice for beginning aerobatics. 4 Channel control.

· Madster EDF
Small sport scale electric ducted fan military jet. 4 Channel control.

· Super Dee
Large high wing tail-dragger aerobatic sport plane. Gas powered. Great for low inverted passes!  4 Channel control.

· Emerald Glider
Classic 2-meter wingspan glider. 4 Channels - use the 'throttle' channel to adjust your drag. For rudder/elevator controls only (no ailerons), fly using 3 Channel control mode.

### 5/5 — Full version!!!!

*2017-09-27, version 1.2*

All the realistic rc flight simulation without any IAP or Ads.

### 5/5 — All the planes! No ads.

*2017-09-12, version 1.2*

Great RC simulator. Realistic flight. The Fokker is my current favorite. Great flight sim!!!

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2017-08-26, version 1.0*

Try the lite version for free before you buy this. It's identical in every respect, it just has fewer planes. 

The models fly very realistically once you get used to the virtual joysticks.  Unfortunately the field is tiny and littered with obstacles. That definitely takes away from the experience, but with a flight model this good, I have a hard time putting it down.

### 5/5 — Good simulatior

*2015-04-06, version 1.0*

This is a very good simulator. Great value for money. I just wish you could have wind that you could set for a more realistic experience.

### 5/5 — Good Winter Time Practice

*2015-02-22, version 1.0*

I have been flying R/C's for years. This app has extremely realistic flight characteristics.  Tried several other r/c apps and none compare. As close to flying the real thing as you can get on a small device.  Only provides basic landscape and atmospheric conditions.  Hoping for updates with some variety in these areas.

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2015-01-03, version 1.0*

This app is not realistic and contains horrible graphics. There are much better rc flight simulators that are less expensive.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2014-11-09, version 1.0*

I like that this app is simple and fun. A few more planes will make this app perfect! Other than that it's very good.

### 5/5 — More

*2014-06-10, version 1.0*

Needs more planes

### 5/5 — Cool but needs update

*2014-02-21, version 1.0*

Love this app!! But maybe add any kind of commercial airliner like a 737 and a few other planes too please!

### 1/5 — Game

*2014-02-03, version 1.0*

Not enough airplanes for 4.99
