We are pleased to announce that RealFlight Trainer Edition version 1.00.025 is now available as a free release for all RFTE users! This update adds new HobbyZone AeroScout training content as well as our first Steam achievements! See below for full details on these and other changes.
For those who don't know, achievements are awards for accomplishing certain objectives within the software. You can think of them as badges you earn that will be displayed for you in the Steam client. They're a fun way to add an extra dimension to the user experience.
The initial batch of achievements is small and targets the beginning pilot. Watch for more information about an interesting way they will be used down the road... And watch for the available achievements to expand in the future as well!
Features
How to Get It
Steam will detect the new version and automatically update RealFlight when it thinks your computer is not very busy. You can trigger the update manually if desired by completely restarting Steam. Right-click the Steam icon in your system tray and select Exit. Once everything closes, run Steam again, and the update should complete.
