Simulators

Hi Guys,

Is there any way one of you guys with a good sim could do some copys as £80 is quite expensive. Its just an idea as im sure a few of the Newbees including my self would be interested

Ive tried looking for Torrents but let to find one.

Regards Chris

**** off

Go out and buy one, you stingy, illegal, copyright thieving git

Hey it was just an idea

[glen_j]

you need to go buy one pal, phoenix won't work without the usb connector in any casenot sure about others. probably not the best move to ask for pirate copies of sims as it offends users and is illegal

You can get FMS for free or download the Phoenix s/w from their website (but you will still pay £80.00 for the Phoenix cable)

Look at it this way - £80.00 is peanuts compared to what this hobby is going to cost you and a good SIM will save you your outlay in less than a day.

So - ante up £80.00 for Phoenix (plus a TX to drive it) and, if you decide you don't like the hobby or can't afford the inevitable repairs, put it on e-bay for another newbie to buy and try.

Especially when one of the guys who helped make phoenix as good as it is posts on this site!

its also not from a large software house but a small english team and worthy of supporting by paying the £80...ive been putting it off but will soon be taking the time to get a copy.

if your flying larger helis it only has to save you one crash to pay for itself. Not to mention the time it takes to rebuild and flying time you loose due to waiting for bits.

Ok Guys, I aplogise for suggesting the idea of coping the Sim, I didnt realise it was made by a small british company. I know it is an amazing bit of kit as i have seen the online demo. I Will consider buying one. I am completely new to this and dont really have any idea on what is good. I currenlty have a toy nikko sky ripper and will buy something better once i get the hang of using a Sim.

What radio is recommended to use with Phoenix

[bandicoot]

Works with almost all as far as i know...best to decide on what TX you will use in the hobby going forward and get that.

I think the guys here will come up with many recomendations...me i use a Futaba FF7

[chrispowell84]

So just for arguments sake i was to buy a Futaba FF7, Is this going to work with any of my future Helis, I think my next purchase will be a honeybee once i get the hang of the sim. So will this TX work with the honeybee

[bandicoot]

yup...it will also work with fixt wing should you go that route as well

[chrispowell84]

Will the cable that comes with pheonix be ok for the futaba or will it need an adpator

[bandicoot]

it needs the cable and one of their adapters...investing in a TX now is a good investment, someone here may even have one for sale.

Im Getting a bit confused, Ive been looking at different sites that sell TXs, And they all go on about servos. Does this mean that the servos need fitting to the heli i want to fly using the TX
