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....
http://www.flying-model-simulator.com/ 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. Panda

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! |
