Heli-x Crack Simulator
Unfortunately they have to lock it down so much because people will just crack it and steal it. I would like a. A simulator needs 60+ FPS to feel correctly. Boot your mac in. I myself like the feel of Heli-X and, to a lesser extent, Next; I also found Phoenix, RF, and Clearview too videogame-ish.
I personally don’t care if the graphics are to die for and the models look 100% real – if they don’t behave almost 100% real and are controlled real, they won't teach you the necessary skills (stick movements in relation to aircraft response). If you don’t get real physics and real control, you have nothing more than a video game. Sure it may still be entertaining, but it won’t teach you how to fly. So if you want to be entertained, any, if you want to learn to fly – keep reading. Let’s look at control first because it is cut and dry.
If you are trying to learn to fly an RC helicopter or airplane with a joystick or on your keyboard – you are wasting your time. The only way to learn to fly with an RC helicopter simulator is by using a real (or at least gutted out). The main reason for this is anytime we are learning a new task, we build new pathways in our brains to control our motor functions (more commonly called 'muscle memory'). In the case of learning to fly an RC helicopter, this relates to ultra fine control of our thumbs &/or forefingers, and thus we need to use the same controls we would in real life if we want to learn these necessary skills. The good RC helicopter simulator programs come with either a gutted out USB adapted RC transmitter that plugs into a USB port on your computer, or come with a USB/DIN converter cable to plug directly into your own quality RC transmitter via the trainer input port.
My prediction with more and more radio's using 'wireless' training connectivity, there will also be a growing number of wireless RC simulator connectivity options as well in the near future, so keep an eye out for that. RC Helicopter Simulator Recommendations Flight physics are a little more subjective. I'm primarily looking at helicopter flight.
After reading many reviews, and trying several simulators, the same three (if you want the most realistic RC helicopter flight simulation going) are always head and shoulders above the rest. There is one simulator however that is truly flying higher than all the rest when it comes to the best heli simulation going. It not only simulates flight physics better then the rest; it also simulates true RC helicopter ownership with component swap-outs, color changes, and seeing the actual functions of the components right down to using a virtual digital pitch gauge to set your collective & cyclic pitch angles while on the 'virtual workbench'. Plus you can tune the virtual & gyros just like in real life. In fact you can tune just about anything and change the setups just like in real life on both the and FBL systems. This is the only simulator I have used to date that realistically replicates real heli setup values.
In short it's super intuitive for people who have RC heli experience or for any of my customers who want to use the same tame settings I show in the eBook on a sim bird first. As far as I'm concerned, I could just list this single simulator and be done with this entire write-up and you could just skip down to the simulator tips I have listed on the bottom quarter of this page. I've given my other RC helicopter simulators away since getting the AccuRC simulator - it's that superior in my opinion. At only $129. Download Free Sarah Vaughan Clifford Brown Rar Software Zip there. 95 USD with free updates to both software and models (downloaded easily from Accurc's site), it's also one of the best value simulators on the market.
Out of the box it supports FrSky, Spektrum, & JR radios with the 3.5mm training ports. Different cable adapters for different radios are also available at very reasonable costs (all are under $15 bucks). Best Of the Rest. GreatPlanes RealFlight R/C Simulator. Great Planes RealFlight is certainly highly regarded as one of best simulators on the market. The with USB interlink radio, provides some of the best flight simulation for, helicopters, airplanes, and quadrotors/FPV. Change the weather conditions, simulate radio or engine troubles, and fly with other on-line pilots just like at the real field but this time with the added entertainment of combat flying & racing.
Don’t have an instructor to help you fly? No problem, yes there are virtual flight instructors to walk you through the basics up to intermediate level aerobatics. Unfortunately these 'virtual instructors' don't come anywhere near to what a real instructor can teach you. They only show what to do, not how or why the aircraft behaves as it does and what to watch out for and what mistakes or situations can manifest resulting in a crash and that's a big missing element. Still, it's better than having no instructor at all. This just scratches the surface.
There is just so much this RC helicopter simulator will do. With so many flying environments and different aircraft from electric park fliers to turbine models, this is one simulator you will never out grow.
A is also available without the interlink radio. Phoenix RC Flight Simulator. The other RC Helicopter Simulator that certainly deserves a big thumbs up is the. I converted over to Phoenix RC flight simulator from RealFlight a few years ago and was very impressed; so much so I feel it's every bit as good as RealFlight for RC heli simulation. The Phoenix simulator focuses on what's important to many of us - FLYING. Unlike RealFlight that is pushing the 'entertainment' value with it's new generation of simulators; Phoenix's focus is on good simulation that will hone your flying skills without all the bells and whistles - this tends to make Phoenix much less taxing on your computer if you have a slower processor, less RAM, or not the best performing graphics card. Many RC heli pilots worldwide passionately say it is the best RC helicopter flight simulator on the market and until AccuRC came along, I would agree.
Watch Phoenix In Action. The Phoenix RC flight simulator comes in a couple configurations. You can get it with, our without a radio/transmitter. The does not come with a 'gutted' RC transmitter to control your virtual model aircraft.
It supports real RC transmitters by way of a USB/DIN converter cable that plugs directly into the DIN trainer port of the most popular computerized radios on the market. Out of the box, the Phoenix sim supports Spektrum/JR radios but additional USB/DIN cables can be purchased for Futaba, Hitec, Multiplex, etc. For about $130 beans, it's the same price as AccuRC's and represents good value with its free updates. When you’re ready for new Horizon Hobby or other aircraft and other scenery, simply visit for free downloads. The free downloads also apply to updates to the simulator software as well. Heli-X RC Helicopter Simulator Heli-X has rich environments, an awesome list of models (including lots of scale & multi rotors), many flying environments, a good tool box of training aids, easy setup parameters, and of course the most important thing - very good real feel physics. This is a true no nonsense 'meat & potatoes' RC helicopter simulator - period!
The other great thing with Heli-X is it comes in various versions to work on all systems (Windows, Mac OS-X, and Linux); so if you're a Mac user, pretty much your only RC Heli simulator option. The one thing to be aware of with Heli-X is it's 100% rotary aircraft specific - no airplanes; so if you want a sim with airplanes as well, stick with RealFlight or Phoenix. Unlike the previous three simulators I've listed here, Heli-X is downloaded right off their site so the only 'hard goods' purchase you need to make is the USB/Radio cable or gutted USB radio. Heli-X has links to several types on their site if you don't already have one (I just use my old RealFlight USB Interlink controller for example). You can first download a 'DEMO' version with a limited heli & environment list.
This is a nice feature so you can not only try it out to make sure you like it; but also make sure the version you download works with your computer and USB/radio cable/controller. If you decide you like it, you can unlock the full version by purchasing it on Heli-X's site using PayPal; you also get free updates. At 50 euros it's right in line with the others and is one of the best RC helicopter simulators out there in my opinion (next to Accurc of course). For more info on this great simulator.
Heli-X in action below. Parting with $100 to $200 hard earned dollars for a RC helicopter/plane simulator may seem a bit excessive, but in the long run will pay for itself, usually many times over. This holds especially true once you start practicing more risky aerobatic maneuvers when crashes are more violent and much more costly in the 'real world'. RC Helicopter Simulator Tips I can’t possibly go over all the different set up features on these RC helicopter flight simulators, but I can give you a few important tips that will make the best use of your RC helicopter flight simulation time. • In the options menus, be sure to set the simulation mode to real instead of easy. To learn – “keep it real.” Some sims have training modes that act like virtual autopilot stabilization devices or automatically control one or more control functions so you can focus on just one or two.
It might be okay at first for the first flight or two, but the longer you get used to that 'virtual help', the harder it will be to give it up. If you never experience that virtual help in the first place, you won't know how much easier it was. My advice is to only fall back on those 'easy flying help' features if after several days you are seeing no improvement and you can't even hold a basic tail in hover; use them as a last ditch resort effort. • Once you master the tail in hover, go into the weather options and turn on a bit of wind with some light gusts.
While you are learning select about 1-2 mph winds with 1-2 mph gusts. This will give a very realistic behaving helicopter that floats and bobs around a bit due to changing, rotor wash, and. Even if you only intend to fly your real heli with no wind outside or inside, simulators seem a bit too easy with no wind selected, the helis feel too 'locked in'. Remember, the harder the simulation the easier the real thing will be.
• If you are just learning how to fly a RC heli, make sure you select a larger helicopter (550/30 or bigger) with on the landing skids. This is after all what your real RC helicopter will have on it when you are learning. Training gear makes it easier to detect when your helicopter starts to pitch or roll, allowing you to stay one step ahead of what's going on rather than being behind the eight ball. Lastly, training helis are to be be more docile (both on the sim and in the real world). • This next tip is very important! Don't get too hung up if your specific model of heli is not included on the RC helicopter simulator.
You can purchase or download expansion packs of course that may have the specific heli you want, but it won't help you learn to fly any better, especially at the very beginning of the learning stage. In general, if you can fly one single rotor collective pitch bird, you can fly them all - like riding a bike. The true to life physics offered in a good simulator is much more important than if they have the real heli you own or are thinking of purchasing in their data base.
Also sim helicopters won't behave the same when setup with docile learning settings, in fact they might not even get off the ground. The sim helicopters with training gear on them (specifically the larger ones) already have been programmed to behave like trainers so that is what you should start on.
Trying to tame a non trainer sim heli is met with limited success in other words - perhaps because they were never programmed to behave docile? A sim heli can only fly within the parameters it was programmed to fly in after all.
Save your time and sanity - use a bigger collective pitch trainer on the sim and it will behave much more like your real bird that is setup as a trainer. • If your RC helicopter simulator has a 'slowed down time' feature, you can use it at first when just starting out; but once you get fairly comfortable with the controls, start flying in real time ASAP! Again, the more realistic you make your RC helicopter simulator time, the better off you will be and faster you will learn. • When you are first starting out and learning how to hover on your RC helicopter simulator, it will be very tempting to fly all over the place and start attempting aerobatics right off the bat. This might be fun, but you are not learning much and more than likely developing some pretty bad habits. Concentrate on staying stationary in one spot.
Follow the same steps as I have in my section on your simulator or other recognized training program. It will make the best use of your time on your RC helicopter simulator and also enforces what steps you will be doing with your real helicopter as you learn.
• Speaking of time, don't spend too much time on your RC helicopter simulator in one practice session. About the longest most folks can handle is 30 minutes tops! In fact, 15 minutes may be the most you can handle.
This really has nothing to do how long you can sit in front of your computer and just have fun flying around on your RC helicopter simulator; but it has to do with how much new information the processor and memory banks between your ears can process & store in one block of practice time. Learning to fly an RC helicopter requires effort and you are learning so many new hand-eye coordination skills that after 30 minutes, most people are generally not getting anything out of their practice time anymore.
• Practice often. Even though you should limit your RC heli simulator practice time to 15 - 30 minutes, you can practice a couple times a day to get the most of your sim time and learn skills faster. If for example you skip a week or two when you are just starting to 'see the light' with a particular skill you're working on, chances are you'll be almost back at square one again. Practicing often will limit those losses. • Don't practice only on your RC helicopter simulator after you have mastered the basic tail in hover. Get some time on your real heli as well. No sim will replicate the true feel of hovering.
Practicing only on the sim in my opinion becomes a big set back. Yes, get the tail in hovering fundamentals down on your simulator; but as soon as you can hold a solid tail in hover on the RC helicopter simulator, get your tamed down real bird out there so you can learn & experience the 'real feel'. Once you learn that 'real feel' then not experiencing it on the simulator is less important and this is the stage in my opinion when simulator time really starts paying off. Learn a new skill on the sim and then apply that to the real machine - this progression method works well for most people. • If you find the noise of the replicated motor/engine drone bothersome (personally, that rhythmic drone becomes torture to my sanity); turn off the sound and listen to your favorite music instead. It helps keep the sanity not to mention helps keep you awake! • Lastly have fun with your RC helicopter simulator.
Fly planes or multi-rotors too, try it all out. Some Kind Words From A Loyal Visitor Hi John, I would just like to say that your eBooks regarding RC helicopters are the best guidelines and help that I have discovered on the internet. I have now got to a point where I can do my own setup and not rely on someone else. Your videos on learning how to fly really makes learning how to fly a lot more fun with very little stress. Congratulations and keep it up.
I have introduced quite a few friends starting off to your website, and everyone rates it no.1. Best Regards, Johan Botha - South Africa.
