Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / June 2007Which sim?
Guys, I havent messed with sims for yonks and just wonder w3hat's considered good now? I want a sim for teaching my younger children fixed wing and my eldest, who can fly FW, to fly heliss. Also for improving my own rotary skills no doubt. Is it still Realflight?? david No not really. Real Flight is OK, but Reflex is the best by a long way in mu view.

Now, Real Flight has competition. Now you've got several high end simulators with somewhat similar graphics, features and system requirements to choose from -- Real Flight G3 (.5) Aerofly Pro Reflex XTR FS One { and I've probably forgotten a few } All should work well for what you need. As for which is best, asking four people will probably get you four different answers.  SignatureDoug McLaren, dougmc@frenzied.us Boycott shampoo!

Any of these should do it, but you'll probably have to make or buy a custom cable to connect your E-Flite TX to the simulator TX, since the plug on the E-Flite TXs is different than everybody else's. (I'll bet the signal is the same, however.) But there's nothing special about your TX -- any TX should work just as well, including the ones thta comes with the simulators. Note that `FS One' I do believe comes with a Blade CP model out of the box (since it's by the same `group of vendors' as the Blade models) so if you're really wanting to practice your Blade CP, that might be the most similar. (I've never tried it myself.) | >> Real Flight G3 (.5) | >> Aerofly Pro | >> Reflex XTR | >> FS One | >> { and I've probably forgotten a few } | > http://www.phoenix-sim.com/pages/news.htm SignatureDoug McLaren, dougmc@frenzied.us When you are in it up to your ears, keep your mouth shut. >Guys, >I havent messed with sims for yonks and just wonder w3hat's considered [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >david RealFlight, Aerofly Deluxe, Reflex, FS One.. Lots of 'em out there. I like RealFlight 'cuz it comes with a "transmitter" to use instead of your actual Tx.. No sense wearing out the pots on our Tx while you work on the sim. On the other hand, using your own Tx gives you the same "feel" you'll get when you're actually at the field. > Guys, > I havent messed with sims for yonks and just wonder w3hat's considered [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > david Reflex seems to have one of the best simulators for helis (which are more critical than fixed wing). My son (11) loves it, and it is very useful to learn.
