RealFlight's forum is generally very unfriendly and even harsh towards newbies. It gets even more expensive when you buy all the add on packs to get extra planes and helicopters to fly.
If you are one of those guys that thinks almost anything will do then that answer is most likely yes. If your definition of a good simulator is something that can give you enough realism to teach the muscle memory necessary to give you a chance at decent early flying and keep you interested enough with a good number of different planes to keep you coming back on those rainy nasty days when you can't go to the field for real flying, then again I think the truthful answer to that question is probably no. The definition of "good" is different from folk to folk and is kind of like asking Bill Clinton what his definition of "is", "is".
Unless that is, you are willing to steal the software by using some of the cheap dongles for sale out there but that, in my view is completely unethical and should not be done. you're going to have to pay at least something for it if you need decent, basic realism. The short answer to that question is “probably” no. Some people want something for nothing and sometimes ask: “Is there a "good" simulator out there for free?” in my opinion, except for FPV goggle use and a few other things, not all that much about it has changed, I’m certain, some will disagree. With the exception of its cost, which is still higher than the rest.
Since my last review of these sims there has been a major update to RealFlight. RealFlight, Phoenix, ClearView, FMS and “AbsoluteRcFlightSim. Glad you are having fun with Phoenix, it’s one of the better sims out there. I have Phoenix, Real Flight 7.5, ClearView and a few other sims. , I do have it but my tx isn't compatible with Phoenix system. Jay? Greg? I would LOVE to see the RCPowers parkjets on there as well, Dave/Shannon? I've been staying up very late because I can't seem to put my transmitter down once I get started. I'm building their A-10 MKII right now and it's supposed to be on there but I didn't see it. Fly it before you buy it! I love the Alpha Jet MKII so much I'm gonna build one.
Thank you guys for putting those on there for free, y'all are the best.
It has online capability to fly with buddies, combat flying Jeff? It has a LOT of aircraft, quads, helis, sailplanes and most of the FRCFoamies planes (you have to download them from their website). With the cold weather we don't get to fly as much (not Wildthing though, he'll fly in any weather, ) and you can keep your skills sharp and have a blast doing it. I just wanted to say how great it is and that I am loving it. Quote:I recently received my Christmas present to myself, the Phoenix Flight Sim.
