Fantastic! (See my version update below)

Considering that I'm using an iPad 2 I would consider this an excellent app both in terms of how it compares to flying the real thing as well as how it compares to pc based simulators. The Trex 450 set on high control rate has nearly identical physics to my actual cp heli. I would however like to see the ability to select wind and thermal conditions. Additional cp models would be nice as well. Version Update: Ask and you shall receive! Thank you! (New models and wind settings were added). I can't imagine how anyone who flys the real deal can not consider this the best simulator available! I actually like it better than my pc based simulators for the simple reason that having it on my iPad 2 means I practice far more frequently (in fact I realized my pc radio controller is getting pretty dusty as I've been using this app for almost three months). Already seeing marked improvement when I go out to fly. As far as app performance goes I honestly don't think it has crashed once on me. You've got a fan here! If you're learning to fly rc helicopters GET THIS APP! Negative reviewers are likely expecting a video game rather than an actual simulator. I highly recommend ignoring any review bashing this app for its lack of planes, cars or sensitive controls. News flash...you're learning to fly an rc helicopter and if you think this app is sensitive try flying an actual collective pitch rc heli (better learn how to repair and trim it first though)! Regarding cost I paid around $200 for my favorite pc based simulator. Incidentally I have zero affiliation with anyone connected with the creation of this app....it's just that good!

Add Speer boats

The next update should be speed boats

I didn't survey for 'best' simulator. With that said the RC controls and helicopter physics are pretty much what I'm used to in real life. That it plays on an iPhone in airplane mode is amazing. I'm taking it with me around Europe. The only dumb thing is you can't save your custom configuration. After wiping memory you've got to set it up all over again. Nit picky, still, dumb. Recommended for realistic action.

Fun to play

This app is fun to play but quite expensive for what you get.

Boat in heli sim

Boat would be understandable if and only if there were water borne helis
