Flight Sim for Electric Heli

[basher]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of buying a flt sim to train for electric heli. I have a Realflight G2 but it doesn't have electric heli. I like Realfilght as it comes with a USB controller instead of using the keyboard or a joystick. Makes it more realistic. I'm thinking of the G3 but I'm not familiar with the electric helis they provide. Anyone got a better recommendation?Thanks...

If you use FMS
you will need PPjoy for playing with your TX

Thanks all for your suggestions.

I do have FMS installed but I don't quite like it as it doesn't have a controller and using the keyboard feels kinda weird. Where can I buy PPJoy?

I have the G2 Lite version so not sure if I can add aircrafts...

Any other suggestions for the best flt sim for Elect Helis?

if you have FMS/G2 lite then FMS/G2 Lite both can use each other controller except that G2 Lite can only use G2 Lite controller.

Thanks all for your suggestions.

erm..how come got G2 dun wanna use? more realistic and can tune the helis to your liking...FMS is highly unrealistic....good for training orientations though...

Pilot-bear, the site you recommended for the FMS is great! Lots of info there Thanks!

Art, G2 lite cannot do the tuning stuff only the normal G2 can. I made a stupid mistake a couple of years ago trying to save a few $$$. Now regret

Esky SIM Controller with G3?

Hi all,

A friend of mine wanted to start on RC heli, so bought a ESky SIm controller that came with FMS. Now he want to use his dummy controller with G3, but it doesn't quite work. Can anyone please help advise what to check on?

At the G3 calibration, can only detect 2 channels. The other 2 no response. But when try on FMS, everything is ok.

Is it necessary to use the above combi with PPJOY? What is PPJOY?

Pls help...

Thanks.
