Flying model simulator.

Hi all, just for fun I have been nudging my son into radio control planes. I used to be into it years ago. Anyhow I did some searches and came up with this simulator....

It is free ware and heaps of fun. It has taked me 3 days to take of, do some aero's and land in one piece again. You will need a game controller. Experiment with the landscape and model settings. it is heaps of fun....
Cheers all.

PS it really was only for my boys sake!!

If you think R/C planes are tough - try a R/C helicopter

I have spent a very long time learning to fly it, and after many (expensive) crashes I got this flight simulator so I could learn without the expense.

I recommend the Reflex flight sim for heli's and planes.
I suck at flying, and couldn't get my bro's chopper off the ground. After a couple of hours on the sim (it uses real radio gear too so you get used to your transmitter) I could get it to hover pretty much straight up.
They may seem expensive, but they are worth every cent!

Yeah ive been thinking about the need for a sim after i sent the rotor blades of my little 4 channel heli (and the linkages, swashplate etc) across the kitchen the other night... the radio gear has the plug i need to run it on the PC....
