This technology allows an ordinary flat screen to have depth and enhances the realism of the simulation. Objects that are nearer or farther are percieved as being near or far - unlike conventional 2D simulators which cannot convey such information.

Main features:

- New PRE-Flight USB Interface for faster, accurate, and more available channels from your TX. See this link for more details
- Uses Advanced DirectX for High-Performance, High-Realism 3D Graphics.
- Aircraft models have moveable control surfaces, propellers, rotors, and landing gear. Only the best simulators have this feature.
- Control models with your own RC Transmitter (includes interface cable, where indicated), or by Windows-compatible joystick.
- Photorealistic 3D texturing with transparency, reflection, shadows, and highlighting.
- Photorealistic Sceneries capable of reproducing your real flying field.
- High-Accuracy Physics with over 120 calculations per second.
- 3D Sound Effects including Stereo and Doppler effects.
- Model and Scenery Quick Parameters for fast customization.
- 32-Player Hosting Multiplayer over Internet or LAN - fly or race with your buddies on those rainy days, in your own flying field. No other simulator has 32-player capability!
- Fully Integrated Model Editor - all parameters fully-customizable - make it look and fly exactly like your models.
- Fully Integrated Scenery Editor - all parameters fully-customizable - re-create your flying field or back yard.
- Model Designing Capability - fast change-and-test - ideal for aircraft design.
- Customizable Scenery Elements (Wind, Thermals, Ground Effect, etc.). Practice flying in adverse conditions.
- Freely Position Trees, Buildings, People, etc. in any scale.
- Animated Scenery Elements (like Windmills, Blimps, etc.)
- Integrated Flight Recorder - for training and web demo videos - can also record TX stick positions.
- Customizable Simulation Speed from Beginner to Expert - learn to fly at your own pace - unique to PRE-Flight!
- Integrated Screensaver - share/show off your flying and crashes - unique to PRE-Flight!
- Free, Downloadable models and Sceneries available from PRE-Flight website - models and sceneries are available for free on a frequent basis!
- Full software support - via email.
