Garbage.

The title says it all. Don't buy it. It's a complete waste of money.


Ripoff

Unhappy Heli Guy

Purchased this app in the full version this morning for 4.99. Had really enjoyed playing with it. Came back this afternoon to play and it is like I have the free version. None of the helis and planes I had before are available. I tried using the Restore Purchase feature but nothing has happened. WTH! Don't waste you money on this app just to get ripped off.


Good practice heli sim, more adjustments would be good.

This is a reasonably good heli sim, much better than anything else on the App Store. The new version has made some changes - appears that the tail is much more sensitive than previous versions (too sensitive). Would be better if it remembered heli, field, rates and view selections from previous play. Would also be great if it had a custom rate setting for user transmitter adjustments, gain, expo: that would go a long way to be able to make it much more realistic.


Great simulator

I bought this app to learn how to fly a blade 450X. I started to practice on the simulator with the Trex 450 and let me tell you it was hard at first but little by little I got a little better and know i could go out side and hover my blade 450X with no problem thanks to this app. The controls are exactly the same as a real rc heli I recommend this app better then paying 400 for a new heli...


Rc sim for iPhone

DreKriel

$5 for a RC Helicopter simulator with real controls, decent graphics and physics. Learning collective pitch flying through this company's simulator software will cost at minimum $2.99. Better to spend 2 more dollars for a few more extras. There aren't any great phone RC simulators out there, but I'd say this app is on its way.


Great sim!

I've got every heli sim for iOS as of this review. This is by far the most realistic complete sim yet. They have done a great job! All of the negative reviews are baseless in this current version. Only thing I may suggest is user adjustable multi point throttle and pitch curves, servo extent adjustments, and in flight flight mode toggle for advanced users. Also works with MFI controllers now too! Keep up the good work! PS. Through in some micro CP birds!


Good but needs more work

As an RC heli flyer of both electric and gas helis I will say the physics in this app is pretty close to what I would expect from a virtual flying app. That being said it still needs a bit of work. Going through each of the Helis in just the start up pack that comes with this purchase.... - The coast guard helis tail rotor doesn't spin. (Just a picky thing I noticed but wanted to let the developers know it's there) - the CH-46 needs a little work on the physics engine. I have a model Ch-46 and understand very well how it flys. In this app however when turning their is way too much throw in the joystick to turn ratio. The smallest increments in joystick movement make this model spin way more then it should. - the small viewfinder at the bottom which shows a zoomed in view seems to glitch out a lot on me. Randomly it goes black and then turns back on. Sometimes the model stays present but the environment behind it goes black. That's while flying close (I noticed it goes black when you get far away from view as well) - the follow view camera seems really odd. I get why they had to make the ground endless as the fixed camera is just a stitched 360 image however there needs to be a new way to make the follow camera work. It would be a neat little feature to fly behind the model but not at its current state. That mode needs more development. Maybe just create an entire 3D world to fly through? Rather then an image with a never ending ground pattern. - When trying to fly in 3D or at least enter into a 3D position I have to release my throttle up stick in order to activate my idle up switch. Usually this results in a crash if I'm low to the ground because of releasing the throttle. Not sure why the throttle up switch isn't active to hit at all times like on my actual Dxi6 receiver. Anyway if the physics engine continues to improve I will gladly give 5 stars but until then I have to be a harsh critic and say 3 stars is where I'm at. Also I wish more fields and models were unlocked for $5. I hate in app purchase and don't really care for forking out more money when I already paid for the app. It would be nice if the next update provided a few extra complimentary models and maps. Just a thought though. I definitely do understand that months and maybe even years of development went into the creation of this app and it I greatly respect that hard work. I just wish more came with the $5 purchase.


Very inaccurate simulator

Blade CP Flyer

This simulator is in need of refinement , the controls are horrible no accuracy and very twitchy. Settings are limited and even setting it to the lowest setting it doesn't work right . This is coming from someone that actually flys collective pitch helicopters . Worst 5 bucks I spent , do not recommend this app.


Decent Flight Simulator.

It's a good sim considering on-screen control sticks.It's great for learning orientation,especially while flying a helicopter upside down.This is good on iPhone 6(somehow) and up and iPads.I think iPhone 4 and 5 are too small to see things on the screen.


last update problum

ghost ttttt

the last update(feb/09/16) stoped my model planes from loading except one! please fix or give refund.it was the auto pilot update.
