RF Sports Group


Welcome to the R F (Real Flight) Sports Group (rfsportsgroup.com)

Why form a group?
This group has been formed out of the need to create grades to cater for the various skill levels of players, which include their accompanying equipment and facilites both online and offline.

It's not fun when you're constantly beaten
Although we are told that combat and deadringers are supposed to be fun, nevertheless, it is important that each player feels that he or she is competitive. When it becomes apparant that this is no longer the case, one's interest will decline. While there are very good pilots amongst us, other contributing factors can play a major part in a player's performance, particularly those whose performances are seen by some as being 'unrealistic'.

Contributing factors which can enhance the players' (or users') natural skills
* faster internet services which provide players with varying speeds of up to 100 times faster than that of
other players
* superior computer systems which can transfer data more efficiently
* clever trim settings on the transmitter that uninitiated users cannot compete against
* after-market accessories which can provide more affective targeting for the guns and rockets
* customised digital transmitters which can assist with an aircraft's handling ability
* larger than normal computers screens which can more accurately site the opposition
* multiple computer screens which can show where the opposition aircraft are at all times

Latency or Ping issues
Poor latency or a player's 'ping' causes much frustration amongst the players. Many players may not realise that it is not necessarily their bad flying that makes them uncompetitive, rather a delay or lag in their internet system. This can range from a split second up to 12 seconds. It's not uncommon to have one's plane get blown up when the opposition's aircraft is heading in another direction. In some cases, aircraft have been blown up and the rockets that supposedly hit the plane could be seen going past the plane some seconds later. This phenomenon seems to affect the outgoing signal moreso than the incoming signal. Yes, you are not the only one who thought you were imagining things!

Having said the above, those who come into any of my hosted sites will find that it is a much fairer playing field because I have a rather slow internet speed compared to other countries and this will tend to even out the lag between players.

Hacking (or cheating) exposed
Thanks to mainly one person (not me), the hacking of planes (which we all suspected was going on but couldn't prove it) was exposed in the middle of 2010. This made Great Planes finally sit up and listen and the G5.5 update brought out later in the year seemed to fix this problem, although it has left a lot of users still distrusting the system.

Tricks to perform better
Regarding getting more out of your system, a couple of tricks have been brought to my attention. One is putting your throttle trim all the way forward to gain more speed. However, this WILL NOT make your plane go faster. All it will do is allow you to accelerate a bit quicker on take off to mid throttle. The negative side of this is that you will not be able to slow your plane down to land as well or negotiate tight buildings and the like, because your plane will be flying faster at the lower end. The other trick is putting your elevator stick fully back so that you can do tighter turns. This will work but it's a hell of a way to fly by having to keep pushing your throttle stick forward all the time to keep your plane level.

How the grades have been be set up
Grade 1 - Open (no password required)
Grade 2 - Advanced (password protected) password invisible rfadvanced
Grade 3 - Starters (password protected) password invisible rfstarters
Grade 4 - FunFly - no combating (no password required)

Password Group Ground Rules
Use the buildings and obstacles provided to get the most out of the games. Do not engage in tail-to-tail combat for more than 5 to 10 seconds at any one time. Be the one to disengage and re-group, otherwise there is no point in have scenery. In other words, do not be relentless in your pursuit to kill at all cost. Play to enjoy the game. Being chased from time to time is part of the fun.

Teams
Depending on the support shown, teams may be also introduced. For instance, you might have made a friend already in Real Flight. Perhaps someone from another country, perhaps from your own country and/or state or even someone who by chance lives nearby. You would be able to team up with this person or persons and play in games specifically designed.
