RC Aerochopper software help needed
 

Hi ,
I hope somebody can help me with this Rc Aerochopper flight simulator thing. I lost the software floopy and hope that somebody can send me a copy. My email is [email protected], thanks in advance.

I am in a similar boat. I started getting into rc helicopters around 1990 or so and bought 1.3 version of aerochopper for my Concept 30 that I just dusted off. I stopped using the helicopter in 1991 or so. I am just now getting back into rc helicopters again so I pulled out my aerochopper sim and found out that it does not run on anything faster than a 486. It just gives an error when launching it.

I have heard the company produced a 2.1 version of aerochopper that works with newer computers but the company has gone out of business :(.

FMS is free and has to be better than anything written in 1990 for a 486.

While FMS is nice, it doesn't work with the serial transmitter that came with RC Aerochopper. I could use a copy of the software as well. Thanks to anyone who can send it to me!

I think I have the original floppy for RC aerochopper somewhere around here, I'll look around but there is a possibility I tossed it into the garbage.
I paid $200 for that sim back in the day. Very primitive but it did help me get my orientations down.

I am using a JR Quattro TX that I picked up for $25 and a serial to mini patch cord to run HeliX (free) which has very nice photo realistic backgrounds.
I used PPjoy to set up a virtual joystick and Picjoy is taking care of the interface to the JR. Works perfect.

This is the link to HeliX ( much better than FMS , I have both ). http://heli-x.net/index_e.shtml

@#$%!&% ISP is filtering port 80. Try the same address at port 1111 like http://ferrari.dontexist.net:1111/aerochopper20.zip
