About RC-AirSim - RC Model Airplane Flight Simulator

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. RC-AirSim was one of the first big hits on Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG), where it held the #1 ranking position for many weeks.

Features


  • 9 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.
  • Fly with Mouse, Keyboard, or Game or USB Controller.
  • Powerful controller remapping and calibration feature so almost any controller is compatible.
  • Awesome crashes! Planes break apart in a realistic physics-based manner.
  • Accurate landings and ground handling.
  • 3 view options - R/C, Following (Chase cam), and Onboard camera (FPV).
  • 4 channel controls - aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle.
  • Optional on-screen Transmitter Sticks.
  • 3 control modes: Mode 2 (default), Mode 1, and 3 Channel. Customizable.
  • Field objects to avoid and fly behind.
  • Doppler-correct sound.
  • Get flying quickly! No slow, tedious menus or multiple load screens.

RC-AirSim is a R/C Model Airplane Flight Simulator that 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.

R/C Aircraft


  • F-15 Regal Eagle
Large gas powered ducted fan military jet. 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 scheme. 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.

The game is very good for a Unity game, so for there are ZERO bugs. The game works as intended and features many planes. As a matter of fact, the planes handle as they should as well; the only two things that I would say that I dis-like about the sim is the lack of graphical appeasement and NO WIND. The game is cheap, works as intended, and is an extremely good option for learning how to not crash and do some tricks with an rc plane. Also, if you want to have more than a basic sim, and want to have a lot of fun, look elsewhere, BASIC, but good.

good cheap way of learning essential basics... it is very basic graphics but a good leaning tool, i do wish there was more than one scenario though

[h1]not a bad game[\h1] Controller support can be a little tricky to set up if you dont know what you are doing, and overall there is not a lot to do in game, but its fun to brush off the dust and mess around in this game for a few minutes every now and then and it runs really smoothly dispite having fairly realistic physics. I rate it 7/10, I recommend this game for those who like simple games with no fancy features.

this game sucks im trying to learn how to fly my rc planes without destroying them but this simulator wont calibrate any of my contollers iv tried 4 diffrent ones all start out working ok for the first flight and then they lose calibration and wont recalibrate sucks because other than the calibrate its a great sim the only one of found that lets you have the option to fly in rc mode where you stay in one spot while flying like you would in real life

Not worth the money, there are better options for free. There is no map, just a square box with walls of tree textures. Graphics is almost non-existent.
