RealFlight 9.5 download rather than DVD

[cubintheair]

I do not have a recent PC/laptop with a DVD. It's 2021, right? HaHa

Is there a way for me to download the installer? I'm guessing the answer is no, and I probably need the 2nd DVD when I want to simulate flight on other planes.

Any thoughts are gratefully appreciated.

And if you purchased the DVD version but don't have a DVD to install it from you can download RealFlight here and use the serial number that came with the DVD version to install it.

If I were the OP, I would buy a USB DVD Reader/Writer. They are not that expensive. It may be 2021 but all the CD/DVD disks are not obsolete. GenZ

Yup, I bought a $15.00 USB drive for my laptop. I still have some old software on DVD that I might need to re-install. That said these days most software is download. I installed Realflight from the DVD.

I installed RealFlight9 originally from usb mounted optical drive. The optical drives these days are reasonably priced, very reliable, and readily available.

Thanks for all the download tips! I am new to the hobby and the assistance here is very similar to the assistance at the flying field. Everyone offering help and guidance and confidence boosters. Very encouraging.

This is great!
