phoenix rc simulator for mac free download

As for scenery, the Phoenix flying sites aren't very editable simply because they are photo-realistic. All technical aspects of the aircraft design can be tweaked and changed as desired. Professional rc pilots would be very happy with the editing options, I think.

Ability to edit aircraft and scenery: Both sims offer comprehensive editing capabilities that the beginner won't need.

Similarly, there is a huge list of flying sites to choose from for the RealFlight sims, compared to Phoenix's. Although Phoenix has well over 100 models now (and growing) the RF 'AddOn' CDs and Knife Edge forum member swap pages mean that a seemingly endless range of aircraft is available for the RF series of flight simulators.

Choice of aircraft & flying sites: RF wins hands down on this one.

My main gripe is that the Phoenix sim planes do seem to be all underpowered on the default settings, and this is more noticeable in the IC planes and gas turbine jets. Also, the Phoenix water-graphics are just outstanding, particularly the ripples created by helicopter downwash - very impressive! ( see the Sea Ranger screenshot above). The aircraft look slightly 'less' computer generated than the RF ones, and the lack of computer generated flying sites in Phoenix means that you're always flying in a photo-realistic place.

Quality & realism: Both sims are excellent but for me Phoenix has the edge.

They were good at the time of writing, but I accept that both sims have improved a lot since then.) ( Important: these pointers might not be valid with regard to later versions of both sims.

I have and use both (RF G4.5 & Phoenix 3.0) so the differences outlined below are based on my own personal observations.

Without going in to a detailed side-by-side review, I can offer a few pointers if you're having trouble deciding which rc flight simulator to buy.
