It's just FMS with a transmitter. You can download FMS here:

About the only thing FMS is good for is orientation practice. Planes do not fly like the real thing at all.

My Feedback: (2)

I have been wondering about the ESKY package myself. FMS is fine for what I need it for. Anyone have this package? Any issues?

Does the ESKY simulator controller works directly with other simulator software besides FMS? For example ClearView, RealFlight G2, G3, or ReFlex.
If not, how to make it work? Please advice.

Thanks

E-Sky usb controller works great with ClearView.

Has anybody tried to modify the simulator into a buddy box? I also have several transmitters that are on the way to out. Don't really know much about buddy boxes, and it seems the info is hard to come by

I used the Esky package. Its just the controller with FMS on a disk.
I was very glad I purchased it. It was cheap, and it got me off the ground. I felt much more confidence and I am certain that having practised on it greatly improved chances for success on my maiden flight... and subsequent flights.

If you're looking for a budget simulator I recommend it. It was much better than trying to use the keyboard.

I doubt you'd be able to turn it into a buddy box... but maybe.

I would recommend it to people learning how to fly.

Also... since then... once I decided that I wanted to stick with this hobby... beyond my SuperCub... I picked up RealFlight G4. Its a lot of fun... obviously a lot better and prettier... but honestly, for the basics, the Esky package did give me enough experience to get in the air... and not crash my cub.

I just got a HoneyBee with the simulator disc. I cant seem to make the disc start. I have been to the website but no help there either. Any clues?
