Most RC flight simulators are good for learning the basics of rotary flight. Since I only am interested in non-rotary aircraft, I concentrated on the functions and features for them. The perspective is not correct and the peripheral objects, to help the pilot stay aligned with the runway at the real field, are not available on the virtual display.Īfter using the previously mentioned simulators, I believe that even the $20 NitroPlanes Windows based flight simulator, with the USB 6-channel transmitter-type game controller, is 'good enough' for RC flight training purposes. NONE of the previously mentioned simulators provided the field of vision found at the flying field. I'm not a huge fan of RC flight simulators for learning to fly RC planes. The Dynam controller now comes with the ClearViewSE RC Flight Simulator. I've owned, and used, four other RC flight simulators the Dave Brown simulator for the Apple IIe/GS, MachineWorks NorthWest: CockpitMaster, Reflex XTR, and the free FMS flight simulator supplied with a Dynam USB 6-channel transmitter-type game controller purchased from NitroPlanes. The interesting thing, for me, was that there was a Mac version. I remembered seeing an ad for the new aerofly RC 7 RC Flight Simulator on page 119 of the April 2014 Model Aviation. With my left arm in a sling for at least six weeks, while recovering from rotator cuff surgery, I needed something to occupy my mind and time.
