Do you feel insecure when flying nose in? Do you dare to fly inverted? Do you start to sweat even before take off? Whether you are a beginner, advanced or professional, REFLEX XTR² will take you to higher RC flying levels.

With impressive graphics and incredibly realistic simulation, every training session becomes an exciting experience.

Control with your own, familiar transmitter, all you need is a standard USB simulator interface (see spare parts above). If you are just getting started or don’t have an interface cable, you can also use a regular PC compatible game controller; Xbox, playstation, etc..

Almost every RC pilot uses a simulator these days. Do you also want to fly better, safer and more relaxed? With REFLEX XTR² you will have more fun with your exclusive hobby. Not only at the airfield, but also at home. The investment pays off as soon as you prevent a single crash.

Master Multiple Aircraft Types

Helicopters, airplanes, gliders, quadrocopters, hexacopters, trainers, 3D, scale, electric or gas engines, you will easily find the perfect model for your individual training. And Motion RC will be adding new models to REFLEX XTR² on an ongoing basis, all free to download with your your lifetime license.

The models are reproduced down to the smallest detail. Rotors, propellers and control surfaces move exactly the same way as the original.

Exhaust clouds appear so realistic that you can almost smell them.

Retractable gear can be remotely controlled.

In order to familiarize yourself with the different types of stabilization, multicopters are equipped with the original flight modes such as SMART, ANGLE, HOME, COURSE LOCK, GPS, ATTITUDE, MANUAL etc. Even the glowing and flashing of the status-LEDs correspond exactly to the real thing.

REFLEX XTR² simulates a multitude of highly complex, physical processes that actually take place in reality. This is why you get a flying experience that is thrilling, lively and real.

Stunning Panoramic Scenery and Realistic Terrain / Obstacles

Original scenes were photographed, measured and programmed with intense attention to detail and using sophisticated algorithms. The ingenious use of light and shadow conveys a precise impression of spatial depth and creates a harmonious atmosphere for every scenery.

Fantastic RC flying airfields in beautiful landscape are awaiting you.

On spectacular slope soaring sites, strong winds are blowing with realistic turbulences. You can even configure the wind conditions according to your own desires and preferences.

At the immersive night flying sites you will experience the evening twilight in real time.

Practice flying indoors and in small spaces like this realistic gymnasium.

Many other exciting locations provide a great variety of training opportunities. Have you ever flown on a huge ice surface?

The terrain’s shape of all sceneries are precisely replicated and provided with suitable material characteristics. That’s why you can “feel” any ground contact due to the authentic response of your model.

Obstacles are precisely simulated so that you can crash, get stuck and, if possible, land on them.

If you are skilled, you can even balance up on obstacles. Within the simulator you are allowed to do anything that is prohibited in reality. The variety of scenery combined with real-life obstacles makes every single simulation a unique, exciting flight adventure.

Fly With Friends Over the Internet

Fly together with up to 8 pilots in a flight convention. Create your own flight convention as a host or join one that is already running. Setup is quite simple and without cumbersome registration or additional costs. All you need is an internet connection.

Become part of the constantly growing REFLEX XTR² community and demonstrate your skills. Or alternatively, study the perfect difficult maneuvers at your own pace; you can pause, rewind, slow-motion, and even save flights for later review.

Analyze Flights with Real-Time Radio Display

The multi functional Radio display not only shows the position of the sticks, in the graphical control history display tab it also indicates the speed and temporal relation between the individual control functions.

Use the appropriate buttons to pause, fast-forward, rewind, or slow-motion interesting flights. This not only functions during your live simulation, but also with saved flights and with flights of pilots you observe in a flight convention. Study new maneuvers from other pilots and add them to your own repertoire.

Experience “True to Life” RC Simulation with Virtual Reality

Virtual reality has finally become affordable for RC pilots. With REFLEX XTR² you can take full advantage of the Oculus Rift VR headset. The wide field of view and the stereoscopic rendering provide an overwhelming 3D experience. The revolutionary head tracking offers you the perfect orientation in space with which you can accurately estimate trajectory and speed. The sensational feeling of immersion is further enhanced by the ingeniously implemented tracking of the observer’s position.

You will be impressed how natural and genuine RC flying can feel in Virtual Reality. It’s like you’re actually present at the airfield.

Whether you want to practice landing approaches or work on the precision of your aerobatic skills, the intuitive spatial orientation that REFLEX XTR² provides on a modern VR headset is a tremendous enhancement to any kind of flight training.

Cutting Edge Training Methods

In order to guide you through learning to fly RC, REFLEX XTR² provides you with sophisticated training assistants:

With the Hovering-Trainer and the Torque-Trainer you learn to hover step by step by concentrating on individual control functions letting the assistant control everything else. This way, you will quickly gain some initial sense of achievement and you will be motivated for further training.

The unique Crash & Retry trainer helps you with tricky maneuvers flown close to the ground. If you crash, it rewinds the simulation briefly and then resumes, so that you can easily avoid the previous control failure.

When training fast and complex maneuvers, the time expansion factor allows you to slow down the simulation as much as you require.

REFLEX XTR² realistically reproduces the difficulty of clearly recognizing flight attitude and flight direction while your vision is impaired by the sun. Within the simulation, you will gain the necessary self-confidence to easily master these situations in reality.

Unfavorable winds, thermals, sudden engine failure or fog-induced limited visibility are additional challenges that will keep your REFLEX XTR² flight training always fun and exciting.

Simple and Fast Installation

You don’t need to be a computer expert to install REFLEX XTR². Installation is straightforward and quick. Software updates are free of charge and install automatically. Just connect your transmitter via a standard USB simulator interface and start flying; you don’t have to spend a lot of time programming it, a simple program without mixes will work for any simulator model.

After the software installation, the center position is calibrated once and the channel assignment is requested. Everything is self-explanatory, clear and intuitive.

If you need any assistance, the software has a built in help feature which explains all menu items, dialogs and settings in great detail.
