Flight simulator recommendations?

[aznewmanfan]

Hello,

I'm looking to possibly buy a flight simulator system, which system would you recommend? Right now I just have the syma x5c-1 but if I can get good at flying it I will be buying a 250 class quad. I want a simulator because I am quadriplegic so flying is a little harder for me. I definitely want to be able to use my transmitter which is a futaba 6ex. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi mate the best 2 are realflight or Phoenix both do life time updates , both work on futaba, when you buy it make sure it comes with the lead ,i have never used real flight , I use phoenix and its great you can even fly FPV too , if you go to there web site you can download the demo , this will test your PC so you know its going to work
Also it has quads , planes ,helis , there is part of the sim that allows you to customise the quad /heli/plane ,so you can make it like the real one your fly

Great! Do you know if both of them do FPV? Do both have quadcopters? Download the demo at the phoenix website? Will I need to buy a cable to connect my transmitter for the demo? I think a flight simulator would be extremely beneficial! Especially in my situation! Being quadriplegic I need all the practice I can get!

Hi The demo just tests the PC to make sure it will run it , your be able to see how good it is , but will need to full sim to use it , I know phoenix does the FPV and quads as i have it my self , as for real flight your have to look on there site , when you know what one you want just order it with the lead for your transmitter
