R/C Term
The number of times per second that your monitor
retraces an image on its screen. This is different
from the Frame Rate.
When used in the context of screen Resolution, this
term describes the picture quality of the screen.
Lower Resolutions will produce an image that is not
as sharp as higher Resolutions.
By pressing and holding the Reset button on the
InterLink Elite controller, you have the ability to

The airplane axis controlled by the ailerons. Roll is
illustrated by holding the airplane by the nose and
tail. Dropping either wingtip is the roll movement.
Roll is used to bank or turn the airplane. In most
airplanes, the ailerons control roll however, when
the main wing has dihedral, the plane can be banked
using the rudder only. Consequently, many planes
with wing dihedral do not have ailerons, and the
rudder controls both roll and yaw. This is one
reason most trainer aircraft have a large amount of
dihedral -- a plane with large dihedral can be
controlled using fewer input channels.
This phrase describes how rapidly the volume of a
sound increases or decreases as the source draws
closer or moves farther away.
In many of RealFlight 7's selection windows, items
are displayed in a hierarchy format. The upper most
