I have used Real Flight for both Heli and airplanes. After multiple hours of use, I always had the same feeling that it wasn't exactly how the plane/heli would fly for real. Heck, never used a heli, jumped on and in less then 3 mins I was hovering one. <div>

</div><div>Now for Phoenix. When I use it, I get a feeling that this is exactly how the real plane would handle and feel. I have a couple of them that is in the sim and belive me, it's damm close. AS for heli's, I find it much more of a challenge to hover and fly.  To me, I belive without a doubt that Phoenix is far better. Plus free downloads and you can evern submit your planes and fields to be added. Realflight, you have to keep throwing out more and more money for upgrades. </div><div>
</div><div>and the added bonus to Phoenix, you can get the version that comes with a Spektrum DX5 2.4 transmitter that you can use on real planes. </div><div>
