Hi. Has anyone tried this? I've already got FMS, but this seems a lot more difficult to "fly". I would buy Phoenix, as advised on here, but times are hard......

Hi Brian
Never tried that one - had a quick look on youTube and it looks similar to FMS [ame]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=av9D_zcYH7g[/ame]

I would bite the bullet and go with Phoenix... It will save you the £80 is crashes in no time and has good resale value if you decide its not for you...

My lad (heli_tv_jr) started with FMS but found it undemanding compared to using my version of Phoenix... so he got his own copy of Phoenix for Christmas!!

All the best

It's no patch on Phoenix, but it's not too bad. I think it's certainly good enough to teach you which direction to push the sticks. I even quite liked the 'orientation trainer', where it puts you in a random attitude and you have to sort it out before you hit the ground.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I've got FMs, and yes, I think it's undemanding, and would give anyone a shock if they went from thst to flying for real!

I then found HeliSim, tried that, and crashed 10 times on the trot. LOL!

So, until I can afford Phoenix (Sometime later this year I hope), I think i@ll have to stick to HeliSim.

Thanks, Devindh. I'll download it now and give it a try.

[Brian Gifford]

Well, I tried the sim, Devindh, but to be honest, I think it needs a bit more work. Thanks for the link, tho.

Thanks, DEv. I'll give it a try later. The bits to get my heli back in the air have just arrived, so I'll be busy for a while.

[Brian Gifford]

Well, Dev. I've tried that one as well. Nice looking Sim, but the crash detection needs a little work.

Thanks for your help, buddy.
