Please judge ONLY by accuracy of simulation/physics, not by landscape/graphics.


Thank You.

i voted on the G.P. 3.5 SIM as i only used this for a very short time and now i can do many 3D manouvers without a problem. by the way i will sell this complete simulator set for half the cost of rec retail, $150.

I voted for real flight G4, but G4.5 is a buggy piece of junk beta passed off as a finished product. I still find that FMS is the best for my needs. I have G4, Aerofly Deluxe Pro and FS-ONE. IMHO, they aren't worth the expense. Programs plus add-ons plus computer upgrades needed to make them run can bring the cost waaaay to high. Cheaper to buy a few inexpensive ARFs with one set of electronics and crash them while learning.

All I use the sims for is to keep fingers and orientation active over the winter. I also find it easier to build a plane than program most of these to get them anything close to anything I have (12 heli's and 10 planes) so I am happy with FMS and wish I didn't use a good chunk of the hobby budget on the others. At the time though, they seemed a good idea and they kept me practicing longer than FMS did... until I got bored with them.

Thanks.
Please tell how does Phoenix 2 compare with RealFlight 3.5 for heli 3D ? for airplane 3D ?

MaxAdventure

I've always read reports that Phoenix has a MUCH better physics model than does real flight, however I haven't tried myself.

MaxAdventure

I should add that I'm pretty disappointed with RF G3.5 physics, and based on what I've read, I wish I had Phoenix.

I have RealFlight 4/4.5 Aerofly (AFPD) And AeroPro, PRE-Flight, FSOne, and some others But for me Phoenix feel more like the real thing for Heli, And Aerofly (AFPD) for planes

Is anyone here flying Clearview? I'm kinda short on dough and need a good heli-sim. Clearview seems to be priced where I can afford it. While I don't expect it to best Phoenix how good otherwise?

Clearview has a big following in the UK RC Helicopter market. Check out heliguy forums: http://www.heliguy.com/Forum/forum95...6229ac1c97ff8b

There are two free heli sim on the net somewhere, I try them they are not to bad, If I can find them I'll post them here.

Here you go, Free heli flight sim.

And of course there is FMS
