I didnt have anyone to teach me. I taught myself. There are people here that fly helis, but trying to get one of them to help is like pulling teeth. Besides you cant really buddybox a heli. You just got to get it up and start flying. The sim hasnt taught me a thing, other than sims are useless. Ive used G3, G2, Aerofly and Reflex. They are all just computer games. Fun for entertainment, but useless for training. The planes are semi-realistic, but the heli's are WAY off.

For the new guy. If you do get a sim. Dont expect a real heli to fly like that, just keep that in mind while practicing on the sim.

Oh yeah and Aerofly is WAY better than G2 or G3. Runs faster and the graphics are fantastic.
