HI All
I am very interested in entering the incredible world of RC helicopters i have been interested for many years and only now find my self in the position to even conteplate entering the sport. I have been checking out this site for a little while and value your views on the sport as a whole.
Before i part with my hard earned and buy a complete heli set up i thought it wise to start with a flight sim first. If i can get myself to the level of figure 8s on the computer i feel i may be confident to attempt hovering a months wages worth of equipment a few feet in the air.
This brings me to my first question from what i can gather the Real Flight simulator series has been very popular and now the G2 with USB comander looks like the ideal way to get started.
But i have recently come accros the Reflex XTR also available with USB Comander and from what i can make out is a pretty impressive set up.
What i would like to know is two things.
Are the flights sims really that good as a learning tool and hence be of great benefit to the complete novice,
and which of the 2 sofware packages mentioned above would be the better option
I would be very greatful to hear any personal views on either package.
I am in the fortunate position of buying the software in the states at much reduced prices when compared to the UK as i have several relatives living out there this means that the slightly higher price of the XTR is almost of no consequence.
I look forward to hear your seasoned advice
Many thanks
