Phoenix....nuff said!

Phoenix is the famous one. It doesn't come with a tx however if you are going to get a raptor in the future, you might as well get a dx6i now to say the least. It works with the phoenix. Just plug and play. Phoenix is in the region of 80 quid. As for dx6i, you've just missed one. Just watch out in the sale's region.

Plus phoenix is constantly being updated so new models etc,you will never get bored of it and it won't get old.It updates itself via the tinterweb

Hi Heliluke, like the guys said Phoenix is superb. but I've got aero fly pro delux for sale with the game comander tx for sale if your interested for £40 inc postage, still a great sim.

No matter how hard you look, a new Phoenix ver 2.5 with lead is around £80. A new DX6i tx/rx bundle is about £130.

Ebay do a really cheap Sim RC HELIMASTER £20.00 delivered comes with usb TX worth a punt at that price .I learned on RC PLANEMASTER to fly planks worked well enough didn't crash a real one for quite a bit thanks to Sim, all in all not bad for £20.00

a few things ill start looking into now thankyou

[heliluke]

i did see that ebay one but id rather use a well known one then if i had any probs i could ask somebody and hopfully sort it out then

[t43er]

In case you don't know. You can get any phoenix on ebay as long as they come with the usb and the cd installer. The important bit is the usb device. Without it, even if you've got phoenix installed, you still can't play.
Anyhow just report back if you have any problem.

Helisimrc is the best!

[heliluke]

i might take you up on that aero fly pro delux just trying to find more info on it and what its like

[dam74]

All joking aside, I've tried FMS and Helisimrc. Even tried getting copies of Aerofly, Clearview and Realflight G5. However you require a dongle to get the commercial ones working which you can get via eBay but it costs as much as Phoenix to purchase it so you might aswell get a legit version of what is regarded by those on this forum (and others aswell) as the best heli sim on the market.
