We have some discussion going on about the price. You're welcome to discuss it as much as you like, but keep it civil.

We are going to merge all posts about the topic into this thread.

For our part, you should know that:

• The price is the same as RF9 on DVD.
  
• The price is comparable to RC simulators with similar content size and feature set here on Steam.

In all fairness, it's probably the best looking vegetation I have ever seen in a game. They sure know how to create nice looking realistic terrains. If you are a RC hobbyist then this game might be worth it.

This is designed for RC Hobbists not gamers, targetting a small niche market.

Most commercial RC sims are far more expensive.

If you are into RC, it is a bargain.

People comparing it to game pricing will have a different opinion.

If you have 8, you shouldn't even consider buying this. I came from 4.5 and I'm wondering why I bought it.

[opjose]

It is not a big upgrade from 8. If you have that version and have previously purchased the Horizon add-on, you have most of it anyway.

So stupid Must be mentioned again.

WTF are you thinking on this price. Good luck with that. Hope Steam banns your game

[opjose]

You should really price out RC flight sims.

[TJA]

Should've been free for all RF 8 users......

[opjose]

Aerofly RC 7 is deprecated and Aerofly 8 is approximately $200.00 and close to $300 USD with the controller. Good luck upgrading too.

AccuRC, Liftoff, etc. are programs that only emulate specific things.

e.g. AccuRC has no plane flight model to speak of, and the heli emulation is still not quite there yet... but improving.

Liftoff, well that is more of a game than a sim and deals with quads... etc.

Okay you found one out there that’s just as preposterously priced as Realflight.

One?

I've purchased them all.

BTW AccuRC currently has 8 fixed wing models, 7 drones and 2 1/8 scale buggies. And you saying that there emulation is not quite there yet. I also prefer RF heli physics but I know plenty of people who prefer accu or even Next over Realflight, so that’s purely subjective.

AccuRC's plane emulation is a joke. Give it a try and see for yourself.

You say Liftoff is “more of A game than A sim” yet Realflight has A training mode that’s basically A campaign and could easily be preceived as A game.

Liftoff, a game because there is no fidelity of any sort in the flight modeling. It is extremely rudimentary.

Comparing Liftoff with RF9 is akin to comparing Ace Combat with DCS. The former doesn't care about the flight modeling as it is oriented to the shoot and twitch crowd.

iPacs RC8, Realflight, FlightOne, etc. can all teach you to fly well enough to handle the real things in short order. AccuRC does handle the heli side well but planes, absolutely not. Reflex only handled helis albeit very well.

I've taught many dozens of people coming off RC flight sims and I can always tell which sims they have used by how well or poorly they handle the real things the first times up.

BTW: Horizon's old sim was so good on helis that I was able to take the modeled programming directly over to a radio and fly a real RC heli with it on the very first flight with that bird.

The swashplate programming, tail handling, throws, balances, etc. etc. etc. were so accurate that my radio did not know the difference. What produced a hover or an accent on the sim did so in the real world. I used to use it to preprogram my transmitters for new helis that I had not flown before.

"AccuRC has no plane FLIGHT MODEL to speak of".

No stories changed.

Again "FLIGHT MODEL" versus "No Planes".

[opjose]

How juvenile.

[Korben]

$133 cdn for this game?

Good luck with that...

The current price is £82 (about 95 US dollars) which seems a bit steep for an r/c simulator, especially as most people don't want an r/c simulator..Suggestion- make the models fullsize so it'll be more like a regular flight sim and I might buy it..:)
