Hello everyone,
I am relatively new to the hobby of flying RC helicopters and have finally upgraded to a 6 channel, starter heli (HeliPro 450 Black hawk). Prior to wrecking this machine for the first time I'd like to at least get the feel for flying it using a simulator. I have been using FMS and like it quite a bit. I have no problem with the lack of beautiful graphics - thats what the outdoors is for. My main concern/question:
- How realistic is the physics engine in FMS?
- Will it give me a 'feel' for flying the 6ch rc heli or will it mislead me?
- Is there a way to tweak the physics parameters of the software to match the model of the helicopter I will be flying? (i.e. rotor diameter, model weight, overall length, etc)
- Do other simulator programs offer anything more than just pretty graphics?
Thanks!
Dennis
