this recommandation comes from a new guy into the hobby.

I bought the pheonix sim with 0 knowledge in rc airplanes. I went through the trainning models for about a week, after that i decided that am ready to fly the reall thing. i went own and bought my first plane which is hangar-9 alpha 40 dsm2 rtf. Took it to the field as soon as i finishin building it. gassed it up and boom on the skiies. To tell you how much i learned from that simulator, the guys on te field cant believe that this is my frist time ever to fly an rc airplane.

i have not tried other simulators softwares, but for this one i give it 5/5. graphic wise it shocking but i dont know how would it run on an ordinally pc since mine is a quad core with 1 gb video card. reiallity i give it a 95% simillarity ( 5% goes to the factor that its not ur own plane where i won't risk it and drive it to the edge in reiallity)

 after being in the hobby for less than a month i moved from using the sim to originally learn how to fly to flying futnana 90


good job developers and keep it up
