A Tmaxx costed me 2 arms and 3 legs.lol
I can take it apart and put it back together in my sleep. My savage too.

You can't tell by using the keyboard on the demo.
as long as it's working good on your pc without glitches it's all good.
The defualt zoom on the demo is set out too far in
the demo is in pholistic mode.
A lot of it has to do with camera position. The defualt setting is too close to the runway.
That's why your having a heck of a time. When the camera on a sort of overhead shot pivets...it screws it all up.
On any sim.

In a sim the model's shadow kind of gives you a sort of wierd depth or hieght perception.
In real R/C..i'm too busy watching the model's wing ...leading edge if it's coming to me on final approch.
It's easier to land the model when it's flying away from you as it flairs..and you get the ground buffing effects
that a sim dosen't have.

As you know the throttle respons is not instant on your nitro car. In a sim it's instant. No clear out required.lol

never the less a sim is nice to have.

it's just a equirectangular panoramic picture with object mapped in.

You can make your own...rhis is a scene from my local park. i use the FMS thou
FMS has wind and thermo effects. Very helpful for hover training a heli.
You can't buy this add on nowhere.lol
