Absolute Realism
Image

Overview
There are several areas where the Wings of Power aircraft depart drastically from the standard fare. Until now, an aircraft was considered to fly accurately if it reproduced a handful of specific performance figures (top speed, max climb rate, stall speeds, etc.) These figures really only represent how an aircraft is performing at a single point in time. Absolute Realism goes beyond these limited numbers and authentically simulates all flight through an almost unlimited amount of conditions. If you take a minute and read this article through you will begin to understand just what a significant advancement Absolute Realism truly is.

Wings of Power comes with a manual (not a pamphlet or a PDF) that speaks in-depth about Absolute Realism and the operation of the eleven aircraft included with Wings of Power.
