This is a great tool for learning how to prolong the life of your IRL RC aircraft. You can practice crashing as much as you like in RF8; rebuilding each re-kitted aircraft takes only a press of a little red button, and PRESTO! CHANGE-O! all the broken pixels are together again. Which is the only thing that is completely unrealistic. So, if it can't save you aggravation, it can save you money. If you amortize across the spektrum of crashes you'll have in the sim, pretty soon you'll find that per crash, it's cost you nothing!
I have found it helpful to stay proficient when I can't fly. The biggest fault that I have with the program is that the plane seems to become smaller as you fly away at a faster rate than the a real plane does in actual flight. Maybe it's just me though. Anyone else noticed this?

[Edited after 150hs of usage] Physics are good. Graphics are good. Plane editing is somehow complicated. Plane selection is uncomprehensible, many classics are missing: For instance, Top Flite warbird 60 models, Great Planes Extra 40/60 size, Spirit 2M sailplane. Helis ? No Trex 450, no Hirobo Shuttle, Sceadu nor Eagle, no Kyosho Concept nor Nexus, no TT Raptor 30/50. Come on ! I mentioned some of all-time best sellers ! I've had a hard time dealing with graphic card drivers until I can reduce significantly the number of crashes at start
No longer works under the latest Win 10 version and AMD 5700 XT graphics card. RF8 uses DX9 and the current AMD driver doesn't support the old legacy DirectX9. I do like the sim a lot otherwise. EDIT: There's now a workaround - DXVK by doitsujin. It's a replacement D3D9 DLL that I dropped into the STEAM app folder for the sim (replacing the existing file). My RX 5700 XT now runs RF8 under Vulkan - unbeknownst to the program. The DLLs are on GitHub. RF8 is a 32-bit app. so I used the x86 DLL.
great graphics
best heli rc sim ever :)
Used this sim to train up for my RC helicopter. Without it, it would have taken 10 times as long and hundreds of dollars in repair bills to reach the point I'm at.
RealFlight 8 or newer version is a must have if you want to become a advanced 3D pilot.
no i would not recommend this game due to bugs and problems with connectivity.
I highly recommend this program not only for beginners but for rainy or windy days. always good to practice, practice, practice. I've have not even been into RC Planes for a year yet and feel comfortable in the program and in the field. I fly UMX planes and have started flying 1.2 meter and 1.5 meter planes. Getting ready to try the Night Radian soon and all because of hours on the program If you have doubts...GET IT!! I have the Steam version and linked to my DX8 Gen 2.
