Hello,

I have used many RC Flight Simulators.
Of Simulators available for purchase I now have 3, but only use two; RealFlight G5.5 and Phoenix

RealFlight is a good simulator, however Phoenix is much better!

I have the newest versions of both. I always prefer to purchase the versions that include the controller.

One exceptional advantage in purchasing Phoenix Flight Simulator is all upgrades, updates, etc are free!

That alone makes Phoenix Flight Simulator the best all around deal.


If you want a simulator that is as close to being on the field flying your Helicopter or Airplane then Phoenix is the current best available.

Update: My System; HP Pavilion Elite 380T, I7 930 2.80GHZ, ATI Radeon HD 5570 Graphics.
May not be the absolute best graphics card available but it pleases me.

As for my knowledge of free updates, I have to admit that I have been trusting what I have been told.

It would be wise to verify that all improvement to Phoenix are FREE!
If I am mistaken, then I have made a mistake in not researching as carefully as would be best.
Still, I like the performance of Phoenix better than RealFlight.
That in no way says RealFlight is not good. RealFlight is very good with recent improvements.
I just feel that Phoenix is still better.

I encourage you reading this, to try your best to actually find a way to actually try both simulators, before making your purchase.

Good Luck and happy flying. Whichever choice you make, you will be getting one of the best available. In my opinion.
