MS Flight sim is nothing but a game I am talking about a real flight sim like Great planes G3 or Reflex XTR where you use a sim radio or your real radio on it to learn as for what MS taught you that will not help you here you might as well forget what it taught you did it teach you pitch curve and throttle curve??Did it teach you how to set up your radio and how to hover correctly with tail rotor control????I think you should can the attitude and listen to the people that have been down this road and remember that we are not just talking to hear our heads rattle we know of what we speak of.You think you know it all then go and try it why ask us!!!!!!
Ok first off I have NEVER had an atitude about this whole thing, but if I keep getting someone telling me that I darn well will have one in short order. I didn't say MS flight sim was the best, and I will NEVER say anything microsoft is the best. I deal with whats avalable to me, and what I can aford. I never even knew about those two sims untill I started reading these forums, and after looking at the prices they wanted for them I won't either.All I'm saying is I have used it as a friend recomended a year or so ago from only tower mode, and with a dual joystick,throttle/rudder setup when I started thinking about this. I know the real thing is going to be diffrent, but I beleve I have a better handle on it than someone who has totaly never seen one before. Besides IF it is like some of the less expensive fp heli's I have seen they come with pc link, and downloadable trainer, so I can get some time before jumping in.

no one should try to take on one of these without some type of sim training or help from a experienced pilot it is just nonsense.
I would LOVE to have some one here to show me first hand, but since the condos took over the only rc flying field here years ago there is no one to show me, so I have no choice.

Ok bottom line is I am going at it alone here. No choice here, so if you wana help then help. Trying to get me in a foul mood by telling ME I have an atitude when your the one putting off the atitude is gona get u nothing real fast. As to self taught if I can teach myself to be a master pc tech then I think I can handle this.
