GREAT PLANES RealFlight 7 User Manual page 121

The list on the left of the dialog box displays all of the aircraft available to you. If you
have created any customized aircraft, they will also appear in this list.
By default, the aircraft are listed in files and directories in accordance with the software
from which they were loaded. If, for example, you have installed Expansion Pack 7,
the aircraft from this disc will be listed alphabetically beneath the Expansion Pack 7
directory.
Click the [+] (plus) or [-] (minus) symbol to reveal or hide the aircraft within these
directories and folders.
Aircraft Selection-
Every aircraft has its own unique flying characteristics, special features, and functions.
To view an aircraft from the listings, simply use the mouse to click on the aircraft
name. Alternatively, use the up/down keys on the keyboard to scroll through the list
one aircraft at a time.
Click the [+] (plus) symbol to reveal the aircraft contained within the folder. Using
either the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard or the mouse, select the desired
aircraft from the listings. If utilizing the up/down arrow keys, click OK to finalize
your selection. If using the mouse, double-click on the aircraft to load it.
Have some fun while you're in the Select Aircraft dialog! Using the mouse, click and
drag the preview screen to point the camera angle to your choosing. Use the scroll
wheel to zoom in and out or move the gimbals to see the control surfaces move. To
resume rotating automatically, right-click the preview screen.
Description/Specifications-
The pane below the Aircraft Preview box shows either the aircraft description or
aircraft specifications. This box provides you with a brief history of the aircraft (if
applicable) and serves to provide you with specific information pertaining to the model
selected.
Using the mouse, select either the Description or Specifications tab.
Grouping-
This list controls how the dialog organizes the list of available aircraft. By default, the
aircraft are sorted by Product. Here is an explanation of the different sorting methods:
• Product, Airframe: The aircraft are first grouped into folders named by their
parent product (i.e. RealFlight 7, Expansion Pack 6, Expansion Pack 8, etc.).
Within each parent product folder, the aircraft are further grouped into sub-
folder by their Airframe names. For example, "NexSTAR" and "NexSTAR
with AFS" are both found in the NexSTAR airframe folder.
