I bought RealFlight after years of not flying, and I find that it still has the same major issues that it always had. Specifically, with stall conditions.
To me the main point of a flight sim, is to practice to improve skills that translate to real-life. For basic flying and 3D practice, this is all good. But for stall practice I find it nearly useless.
Is it just me? Are there any good alternatives? I've played with the aircraft settings, and nothing produces an uncontrolled stall that you get on most any aircraft.
For example, I can take any aircraft in RealFlight (or downloaded from the forum), fly it straight and level, cut the power back to 0, hold full up elevator, and still have perfect control all the way to the ground. I'm talking rudder, ailerons - the works.
NOTHING I do will make the aircraft truly stall where recovery procedures are necessary.
In RealFlight, all it takes is full up elevator and goose the gas.
In REAL LIFE - this is the perfect recipe for a violent crash, especially for a traditional aerobatic, non-3D model.
Please help.
