Default RE: Free sim R/C Desk Pilot


ORIGINAL: Young-RCPilot

Played around with this sim using my FSOne Adaptor and JR 9303.

I really like it, however the elevator on the 3D Extra seems to have too much throw and the rudder doesn't have enough. Also I don't know if its just me but I can't get a stable hover on it but this might be because the throws.

Also just wondering did you program this using some sort of C++ ?
I am in computer software development and love the fact you programmed this sim and made it available for free.
Thanks. You could alter the effect of the control surfaces of the extra 3D using the included aircraft editor.

The sim is written in C#. I find it a very clean and simple language that gives you fast results. Probably the biggest concern for game developers is the execution speed in comparison to C++. But as you can see in the sim, C# is more than adequate for my purposes. The biggest plus for me is that it has probably saved me weeks in terms of debugging hard to find memory related bugs that are more easy to make in C++.

Cheers,
