Camera Type; Rotary Trails - GREAT PLANES RealFlight 7 User Manual

Trails-
Trails, as the name implies, will create a trail or pathway through the sky depicting all
facets of flight for the aircraft. This feature is very useful for F3A pattern pilots and F3
heli pilots as well as those modelers wanting to see how precise their maneuvers truly
are.
Think you're a precision pilot? You might be able to fool the judges at a contest, but
you can't change reality in RealFlight. With RealFlight's Trails feature, the pathway
initiates from the wingtips of an airplane model and from the main rotorblades of a
helicopter and remains in the sky for the duration of the flight, allowing modelers to
thoroughly review their trail from start to finish. If you stray even a fraction from
straight-and-level, or your loops aren't exactly round, the evidence is onscreen.
You will also find this feature very useful when used in combination with the Sky Grid
feature mentioned above.
To enable Trails, click the View menu title, then the Effects sub-menu. Then, click
the Trails menu item.

Rotary Trails-

Rotary Trails function similarly to the Trails feature, except it highlights the path of the
prop of the airplane or main rotor of the heli; additionally, the rotary trails do not
remain onscreen throughout the flight.
To enable Rotary Trails, click the View menu title, followed by the Effects sub-menu.
Then, click the Rotary Trails menu item.
Wind Field Indicators-
Flying at sites designed for practicing thermal and slope soaring flight, Wind Field
Indicators will display where the updrafts are located and their direction. To practice
real-world scenarios, you may wish to turn off these indicators.
To enable Rotary Trails, click the View menu title, followed by the Effects sub-menu.
Then, click the Wind Field Indicators menu item.
