Default RE: Simulator Time!!!!!!!!!!

The shockies all fly like shockies fly. Unfortunatly they are all running those gosh aweful brushed motors. So far I havent seen a shocky in the sim thats got a brushless motor on it. Its pretty accurate.

I dont know about the big 40% in the sim. I havent flown them in real life, so I cant really say. Judging by what Ive seen of the 40% flying around here, and what I can do in the sim...Id say its pretty close. Ive been offered a friends 40% for a flight, but I learned along time ago...NEVER fly anything you cant afford to replace. Biggest thing Ive gotten my hands on was quarter-scale.

The heli's are really good. In perticular the downloadable T-rex. The sim version is actually harder to fly than the real one. If you can fly the sim version, you'll have no problem with the real one. The piccolo is a DEAD on accurate.

The downloadable KwikFly is amazing. Its like they took the real thing and put it in the sim. My dad loves that old plane...Im not that impressed. It wont do knifeedge, but it is kinda cool to have the old classic planes.

Im hoping for the following planes to be added. E-flite planes like the Edge540, the GP series of Flatouts, Blade CP and CX helicopters, Shogun.

The Votec is awesome...really good flying plane. If your light on the sticks it will fly precision really well. It does incredible one roll rolling loops. Big, huge, and smooth. Rolling circles arent bad either. Get some altitude, then pull off the power, let it slow down, then shove full down elevator, and hold it. It will do a VERY cool inverted harrier right down to the deck, and it stays level, and comes straight down...no forward airspeed or tip stall or anything.
