Guys

I have an helicopter eSky CCPM Channels Six transmitter so for the famous CCPM mixed signal problem I can't use any simulator unless I buy a cable on www.milehighwings.com which provides de-mixing capability.

Hence I have 2 choices:

- Buy the cable which costs 50$ and then I can use some simulators like FMS, RC Plane Master, CockpitMaster, CockpitMaster Backyard Edition, PRE-Flight, etc... (look at the 3rd column of the table here http://www.milehighwings.com/sim_compatibility.htm).

- Buy RealFlight (either G2 or G3)

The question is: Are these free simulators good to learn to fly? Or is better a more serious simulator like RealFlight? I would avoid to waste 50$ just to find out that these simulators are pretty bad. I could use this money for RealFlight.

Thanks
Mario
