10^th September 2001 PRE-Flight is now freeware! That's right - the RC simulator that used to sell for over $200 is now free and as powerful as ever. PRE-Flight now has Quick Edit - enabling the user to quickly change model and scenery characteristics using simple property dialog screens. Create freely distributable flight recording "videos" of your flight - complete with stick positions in either mode 1 or mode 2. Even fly in mode 1 then send the recording of your flight to mode 2 users! Connect your RC Transmitter to PRE-Flight with an easy-to-build interface (see left for link) or simply use the joystick/keyboard .

PRE-Flight is a fully user-configurable rc flight simulator and aircraft designer in one integrated package. PRE-Flight can be operated by a wide variety of RC transmitters and/or standard PC peripherals like the joystick or keyboard. PRE-Flight's "Physics and Rendering Engine" allows fast and accurate simulation of aircraft from parameters which are fully configurable by the user - down to the 3D shapes and color of the aircraft!

It is this special feature which allows aircraft designers to "build", test and simulate their design prototypes before putting the first parts together or even buying the first components! Critical decisions on powerplant, wing area, dihedral - even paint schemes and tank capacities can all be simulated on PRE-Flight along with anticipated wind conditions and flying field dimensions. CL and CD tables can be included in the flight model to allow accurate flight physics. PRE-Flight's "dynamic parameter" specification files allow user-defined equations and function tables to govern all aspects of the flight model.

Further news and developments will be posted on this website. If you would like to be informed by email or have comments or questions, please feel free to contact me on this link ttransce@bigpond.net.au.
