## Description

RC-AirSim is a highly realistic RC airplane flight simulator designed for practice and learning. Built with advanced aerodynamics and accurate ground handling, it offers multiple aircraft (F-15, WWI Biplane, Glider, Slowmowatt, and more), 4-channel control, FPV/third-person views, and flexible camera options.

It supports MFi controllers and provides safe, physics-based crashes to help you improve without risking real aircraft. Note: it is not an arcade game—mastery comes from practice. For beginners, start in 3-channel mode to ease into the controls.
