Default RE: Heli simulators help please

Yes, I bought that one out of frustration when I couldn't get my BCX transmitter to work with FMS and SmartPropoPlus.

The USB controller that came with it is virtually identical to my RC TX.

I don't really care that much for FMS but it is probably way better than nothing.

I downloaded a demo of Clearview and liked it enough to purchase it.

Way better than FMS in my opinion and it works with the USB ESky controller.

I made my decision after reading this comparision http://www.swashplate.co.uk/ehbg-v17/ch08.html

I think that 7/10 for 30 dollars makes it about the best choice.

You may want to consider buying this from an online store, e.g. http://www.helidirect.com/product_in...roducts_id=890 , rather than EBay as it might be cheaper and quicker to receive. EDIT: I just realized this one is RS232 not USB, sorry.

I bought mine on Ebay and paid about 10 bucks too much (my fault) and it took forever to arrive.

Good luck.
