buy x plane its cheaper and has RC models to fly

get a flight sim free.

I have X-Plane and the RC models in that simulator or terrible. X-Plane is designed more for real planes. Where as this program is designed specifically for RC models. I myself have learned to fly RC planes, helicopters, and "drones" using simulators such as this one. As for the price $33 for the basic is really not bad. Considering I payed about $150 for Phoenix RC simulator, and about $200 for Real Flight RC simulator. If Anyone is searious about learning how to fly RC models, then they need to get this instead of X-plane.

you can buy a remote controlled plane for the cost of the "game"

I have x-plane and its a good tool and "game" when you want some fun

It's not a game, it's a training tool you can use, like other RC simulators, to learn to fly model aircraft in the real world which can easily cost thousands of dollars. And if you crash there, you lose a lot of real money...thus a training simulator. For most steam folks this is a 100% useless product and shouldn't be purchased. Xplane or some such is a much better choice for a gamer.

Normally these RC products are used with adapters which allow to us connect our actual Model Radio controllers to the PC for use in the simulator, which is the only way to actually get decent training. An xbox controller would be a distant second best.

The real RC plane doesn't have a reset button this does. And you're not getting crap for a plane for the cost of this game.

There is no DEMO for this simulator, so i'll don't risk my money to try this simulator.

Buy Aerofly RC and fly half an hour while X-Plane is still loading.

I like both sims :-)

I have been flying RC planes and helicopters for years. I found Aerofly simulates tip stall's at the correct (or close to correct) speeds that allows someone to actually learn 3D flight on an rc plane correctly, most large scale plane simulators don't simulate this correctly.

Besides, even the price of the highest tier wouldn't get me one servo for one wing on my 36% Sbach, its much cheaper to crash planes in a sim.

I made the MISTAKE of buying "x-plane". It's a load of CRAP !!!!!

so because your pc can only run COD @30fps everything else is crap LOL.

My PC is 4 GHz, 32gb ram, 780 ti card and I own now both games mentioned here.
This Aerofly RC 7 is getting more time then X-10 or my older FSX with Orbx add on's. They all have their merits.

Sure, but consider the amount of time and cost to fix that real plane while practicing to fly with it..

Of course depends on plane and amount of experience but you'll quickly find it worth the cost to practice virtually before destroying one of the more expensive RC planes there are.. Especially with helicopters the training is worth it.

The planes included with it are not good, you do need to buy a properly made addon for a decent plane for it.
X-Plane itself has just the simulation code that is good, the free planes are mostly examples of what you can do with it.

This isn't the forum to discuss X-Plane so let's end it here.

got acrofly ultimate for 20 bucks on the steam auction suckas
