Want to create your own unique model for the RealFlight Generation 3 simulator? How about adding that latest aerobat that you’ve seen at the hobby shop? If the response is a resounding ‘YES’, you’ll want to experiment with Knife Edge’s latest release, KEmax. KEmax allows you to expand the capabilities of RealFlight with new content and new creations. It also allows you to test your 3D modeling skills.

Developed by Knife Edge Software, KEmax is the Knife Edge Content Creation Toolkit, which allows you, the end-user to increase the offerings and the fun in your favorite R/C simulator with custom content creation and sharing. Using the same tools as our artists at Knife Edge, you will be able to model your own content for RealFlight. Once you’ve created the models, our custom export tool then allows you to experience your creation first-hand in the simulation. Knife Edge has also added an all new file distribution system to make it easy to share your creations with the rest of the RealFlight community!

Below, you'll find an overview of how to start using these new features. For those ready to jump in and start making your own models, be sure to check out the supplied tutorials for useful tips on developing your own content as well as information on how to ensure that your models are fully functional within the simulation. Additionally, we encourage you to check our site frequently for new resources pertaining to the KEmax Toolkit.
