Hi All!!!
Need help on choosing a simulator for training. I want to be able to use my radio as a controller and not what comes with the simulator. (I think that will give me a better feeling and I’ll get used to my radio quicker with the controls and features) I am a beginner to this hobby and I don't want to crash on my first time solo. I have been practicing with a buddy cord, but I feel that I don’t get enough practice like that. I use a JR radio, it is not a new radio but it is not old ether. I have done some research on-line and there are quite few to choose from. I am trying not to spend a lot, but if I am spending a lot, I want to be sure that I am getting my moneys worth.
Thanx for all your input,
Jecka
FMS is hard to beat for the price and for learning the basics (mostly that means figuring out what to do when the airplane is coming at you or when it is threatening to become a tiny spot in the far distance
) - G3 has more features, but FMS' price is right and does a good job of the basics
Cheers!
