GREAT PLANES RealFlight 7 User Manual page 112

suggest using either the 'high' or 'highest' settings. Lowering the physics level
will reduce the quality and detail level used in the simulation, thereby allowing
the simulation to run at a faster rate on slower PC's.
To lower the physics option, click on the value indicated in the column to the
right of the Helicopter Physics Quality name. Using either the up/down arrow
keys on the keyboard, or the mouse, select the level for your simulation from
the drop-down list. If using the up/down arrow keys, press Enter to finalize
your selection.
Use Metric Units-
This option determines the unit of measurement for the various displays found
in the simulation. RealFlight defaults to display measurement in SAE units.
You can easily change this to use metric units.
To do so, click on the value column to the right of the Use Metric Units name.
Using either the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard, or the mouse, select
either Yes or No from the pull-down listings. If using the up/down arrow
keys, press Enter to finalize your selection.
Automatic Reset Delay (sec)-
This setting will force RealFlight to automatically reset the aircraft after a crash
during which a piece of the aircraft has broken off.
To adjust the Reset Delay, click the respective value. Enter the desired value
directly from the keyboard or use the mouse wheel.
Projectile Physics Quality-
This setting, as the name suggests, is use to determine the physics quality of the
rockets, paintballs and guns. With the highest setting, projectiles will collide
with terrain, vehicles and all objects at an airport. This is more realistic but
requires more processing power. To improve your computer's rendering
performance, select a lower setting.
Pause Sim When in Menu-
This setting, when enabled, will pause your flight when you access any of the
menus. If set to No, your flight will continue even when you access the
menus. Note that during multiplayer session, RealFlight will never pause
regardless of this setting.
Check Physics Setting on Startup-
The simulation is most accurate when the physics difficulty is set to "Realistic"
in the Physics Gadget. If any other setting is selected (including "Custom"),
RealFlight shows the Physics Gadget on startup to make it obvious. Disable
that behavior by setting this to No.
