Flight Simulators

HowTO – R/C flight simulators

Flight Simulators are very useful to learn the basics with out the crash headache.

Many simulators are available that work with a simple dedicated USB transmitter box or you can buy interconnect cables to adapt to your own R/C transmitter.

Simulators vary in cost and quality from $0 to $ 150.

My favorites:

$0 – ClearviewSE - http://rcflightsim.com/

FREE  – Phoenix 5.5 - this website is very complete with setup instructions -

  https://www.rc-thoughts.com/phoenix-sim/

These simulators are available for Windows PC machines.

Their are very few sims available for Apple/Mac but they do exist.

Several sims are available for iPad devices.

For controller box I like - Dynam USB rc flight simulator – search in ebay or Amazon – about $25.

Or get proper dongle for your own transmitter - see - https://www.rc-thoughts.com/phoenix-sim/

Search ebay for "RC USB Flight Simulator With Cables For Phoenix" - cost about $15

Practice, practice and practice.

Luck,

Vince
