E-Sky has a $19.95 R/C Computer Simulator. How’s it work?
http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3235026-10471876
That is the link for XHeli.com’s website who sells this sim.
Pay for the E-Sky USB Transmitter and FMS program is included free, as a shareware program.
The program Graphics are clear.
Also cheaper than a half a tank of gas, this is an affordable TOOL to help learn R/C flying, without the expense of crashing real models.
I had none of this when I learned and it cost me thousands of dollars and hours back then.
To get it to work on Vista required downloading a DLL file from the internet. This worked well.
I also had to run the Transmitter through a USB multi port block, so the required resistance was met.
It would not work plugged directly into the Computer’s USB port.
If your TX is not being seen, try that.
So I hope you folks learn on a simulator first, saving yourself some aggravation when you begin to fly real models.
Hope this video gives you an insight of the program.
I apologize for the fuzzy video, but it should still give you an idea of how well this sim works.
Thanks for watching, good luck, and happy flying.

Did you ever have problems with your landscape? I have a vista with an Nvidia graphics card, but the plane will only show up without the landscape.

This missing .dll file is located inside the Windows XP System32 folder. Just copy it off an XP machine and stick it into the System folder of your Vista system. That’s if you have an XP system laying around.

Hey Dave, I dont know if you know this but FMS is a free download and I use a Logitech rumble pad controller! It works great and has two thumb controllers that work just like the ones on your rc radio with one exception, the throttle lever snaps back to center when you let it go!

Dave:
I went to your website and see the COntroller version is sold out.
I notice you have a computer SImulation Cable also listed. If you already have a Flight Controller (Radio unit) can that be used and plugged into the computer to drive the software using this cable as an interface. It looks like it is a serial connector or DB9 connector.
THanks, Jim
