Glossary of Terms - V

Video Card

A card inside your computer that produces the images on your video monitor. Most modern 3D video cards have accelerated 3D operations-that is, they perform numerical calculations for rendering a 3D scene, to free up your computer's CPU to perform other tasks. The video card plugs into your computer's motherboard. You can upgrade your video card (or the software driver that controls it) without replacing your computer.

Viewport

A picture-in-picture display inset within the RealFlight main display. Each Viewport is independently adjustable and serves as its own unique "window on the world". The number of Viewports that may be created are totally dependent upon the power of your processor.

VFI - Virtual Flight Instructor

This RealFlight G2 feature lets you choose from a variety of prerecorded maneuver training lessons. The maneuver is then demonstrated on screen, along with the instructor's voice and control stick movements. You can speed up, slow down and even loop the maneuver playback for training purposes. 

VirtualRevolution 

This is the exclusive sound technology used by RealFlight G2. As with the original RealFlight programs, the sounds are Doppler-correct, however, if the user's sound card supports it, surround sound is also available.
