Free software update to version 6.02.0
  • REFLEX XTR² now supports the Stickmover from AVIrem. With this revolutionary training device, stick movements of both live simulations and recorded flights can be felt physically in real world. Activation and configuration is done via the new dialog AVIrem Stickmover of the Radio menu.
  • REFLEX XTR² now also supports the YUNEEC USB Simulator Connector, which allows wireless connection of all YUNEEC remote controls. All YUNEEC specific features including telemetry can be simulated just like with the real thing. For extended functions of the YUNEEC USB Simulator Connector a new submenu has been created in the Radio menu.
  • The Recorder menu has been extended by the new submenu Trim flight, which can be used to remove undesired sequences at the beginning or at the end of a recorded flight.
  • The Radio display has been enhanced by a new pushbutton that allows to replay recorded flights in auto-repeat mode.
  • Several bug fixes have been made.


AUGUST 23, 2019
Free software update to version 6.01.0
  • REFLEX XTR² now supports the Virtual Reality APIs Oculus and OpenVR. This allows the use of almost any Virtual Reality headset offered currently and in the future. The revised Virtual Reality settings dialog allows the selection of the API to be used depending on availability on the particular system.

Free software update to version 6.00.0
  • The mouse can now be controlled remotely, so that the program can be operated conveniently via the connected transmitter. The simulation can be started and stopped by double-clicking the assigned transmitters pushbutton. The configuration is done via the new dialog "Mouse remote control" of the "Radio" menu.
  • The simulation can now also be started by remote control via a short throttle or pitch pulse.
  • The simulation now also accommodates human movements of the model pilot and thus appears even more alive and natural. The intensity of the effect can be adjusted via the simulation parameter "Imitate Human Motion" on the "Camera" tab.
  • Dragging the direction of view with the mouse as well as zooming in/out with the mouse wheel has been improved and supplemented by an inertia effect.
  • On systems with touch screen (e.g. Tablet PC), it is now possible to drag the direction of view and zoom in/out via multitouch gestures.
  • The user can now intuitively touch and move the selected model by mouse or touch gesture. The physically correct behaviour of the model provides an even more convincing and immediate experience.
  • When using the Hover and Torque trainer, a 6x6 meter area is marked on the airfield, in which the model is to be maintained.
  • The effective prevention of pixel flicker has improved the rendering quality of models outside of the near range.
  • Also in Virtual Reality mode the simulation now continues after a crash, even if the model is only limitedly airworthy. Emergency landings and autorotation procedures can therefore be trained more effectively.
  • Various dialog windows have been revised to ensure a pleasant and smooth user experience, especially if the Windows settings under "System"/"Display"/"Scale and layout"/"Change the size of text, apps, and other items" were set higher than 100%.
  • The radio display can now be scaled more easily and also snaps centred.
  • When recalling certain dialogs, the last parameter changed is automatically re-selected, making it easier to adjust individual parameters.
  • The simulation now always starts with the rpm that corresponds to the respective position of the throttle stick, flight mode or autorotation switch.
  • Ground contact of propellers and rotors are now simulated more accurately.
  • The helicopter simulation now also considers a possible imbalance in the main rotor system.
  • The model context menu has been extended by the new functions "Transfer model to initial position" and "Reerect model".
  • The user experience has been improved by displaying a splash screen immediately after program launch.
  • If an attempt is made to make changes to the general channel assignment for a model with model-specific channel assignment, a new message box informs that the changes will have no effect on the current model.
  • Several bug fixes and performance optimizations have been made.


MAY 24, 2018
Free software update to version 5.09.3
  • Establishment of a privacy policy declaration providing information on the personal data processed during the use of REFLEX XTR² and on the rights the user is entitled to pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • Integration of a new dialog, which asks the user for his consent for the processing of his personal data prior to initiating the free trial period.
  • Extension of the dialogs Activate, Reactivate, Create flight convention and Join flight convention by adding a checkbox with which the user agrees to the processing of his personal data.


DECEMBER 14, 2017
Free software update to version 5.09.2
  • In telemetry display, main rotor pitch and tail rotor pitch are now displayed with one decimal place.
  • Bug fix: For models with model specific channel assignment, the model specific channel assignment did not load automatically after application restart.
  • Bug fix: On airplanes with more than 2 propellers not all propellers were properly animated in demo playback mode.
  • Bug fix: For airplanes, the engine running time continued countdown even if the drive has been switched off.
  • Bug fix: After expiry of the engine running time, the simulation restarted automatically even if the model was still gliding.
