1.3 Aircraft
Select an aircraft from the aircraft list.
In the Demo Version the following 3 aircraft are available to fly:
-Back 40 Trainer
-Modelair-Tech Slowmowatt
-Double Helix
In the Registered Version all aircraft are available to fly.
1.4 Graphics
RC-AirSim automatically detects your video card and displays its name.
Select your full screen resolution from the list. The default resolution is 640x480. Increase your resolution to improve the graphics of RC-AirSim.
Increasing resolution improves graphics but may degrade simulation performance and stability. Find a balance
between better graphics and acceptable performance for your computer. Low end machines will need to run in 640x480x16 resolution.
Tip: If your computer and video card are fast enough, use your current desktop screen resolution as
RC-AirSim's full screen resolution. This will give quick transitions between Settings Mode and Simulation Mode.
