Simulator Sites

[wildpalms]

What would be nice is a thread that lists the various sims and where to find them. But I would rather leave the discussions on how to make them work/which one is best for other threads.

To start things off:

Aerofly Pro, EasyFly, PiccoFly, Aerofly (http://www.ipacs.de)
Downloads for various sims (http://rc-sim.de)

F3F version of crrcsim (http://obor.free.fr/crrcsim/crrcsim.html)

[steve lewin]

Good idea, I'll make this sticky so it stays at the top of the forum. Please add any other good sites, either for simulators themselves or downloads for them.

As Dave said let's keep this thread for site links and start any discussions in other threads.

Here's a great little freebie, good for orientation training (learning to fly back at yourself & inverted, in particular):

[rsknapp]

This is a pretty cool and fun RC Sim. Works with a joy stick as well as a kb.

www.rc-airsim.com

The demo has 3 different planes you can fly. The demo works for 5 minutes then stops. You need to restart the app to get going again.

[tmophoto]

here is a pretty good heli simulator (its free and runs on OSX)

http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/rchelicoptersimulator/RC%20Helicopter%20Simulator.html

also you can get a usb to transmitter cable from

http://www.milehighwings.com/

they dont suport macs, but they do work with osx with no software to install.... they have all interfaces to usb (I have been using mine with the button pushed in on the usb cable)
little expensive, but the simulator does not cost anything... so its not that bad of a total investment.

Hey guys I am looking for an american number to contact someone about the reflex simulator..thanks
Bill

[Puff]

Am I dreaming, or it there really no mention here of Manuel's Radio Control Flight Simulator? It's fantastic, only two models but a modeler included.
http://members.tripod.com/manuelguillen/pcair2/air.htm

This software has everything, from realistic physics, easy-to-use, but comprehensive interface, realistic crashes with damage calculation, calculation of forces, realistic engine start and weight, and even the blinding sun. By far the best free simulator I have tried, makes FMS look like a toy. Wierd that almost nobody really seems to use it, that I can't understand.

ZNORT's site:

select fms,
planes are in the 'hangars'
and lanscapes under (paysage). You must do 'la suite' = next


And don't forget to sign the 'livre d'or', ZNORT will love it.

[Phildc]

As of today, ZNORT has 17 hangars with more than 20 planes in each...

If you have other planes or landscapes, please send to him (at least a link).

does anyone know of a site for Warbirds for the FMS simulator? I would like to get a Corsair.

At ZNORT's, you can find Corsairs in hangars 5 and 16.

Thanks for the info but I can't get into the site.

Sorry about that, I have access from Belgium, don't know from where you try.
Maybe you can try later.

Have read this thread up to .... well... right here... :)

I was looking for a fairly active site that might have aircraft d/l's for RealFlightG3. I just bought the thing and am having good fun with it. Noticed that so far in this thread most posts are about the sites that offer sims for d/l. But would like to find an active website that specialises in RF and has d/l's for it, not interested in other applications (yet). Thanks

Anyone have a fix for this problem? I downloaded FMS and I have no graphics....well they are there but it is all broken up. I have a graphics card and run Windows XP. I have no problem with any other "game" I use on the computer. :confused:

What About Sites that you can download the sime from after Purchasing it?
Does anyone else other than www.cockpitmaster.com do this?

[LoneStar702]

I am new to RC Airplanes and just downloaded the new FMS program and it works fine, however,there are only a few models included. I know there are sites that have models that can be downloaded,but I don't know how. I would appreciate it very much if someone would walk me thru how to download and incoroperate the models into the FMS program. I realize that this is more of a computer operation question than a simulator question,but I still need help. Thanks very much.

[A.T.]

Download the Zip files of your choice from the many sites below and unzip all into a temporary new folder on your desktop or elsewhere on your PC.

When you have your choices unzipped (FWIW I now have 340+)

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. On top toolbar open "edit" then click "select all".
3. Reopen "edit" and select "copy".
4. Open "program files" [in need open main hard drive usually (C) to view program files alphabetically down list]
5. Open "FMS" and select "Model" folder and then right click and "paste" your copied model files into the folder.

Open your FMS and you should see all the new models - then your "temporary" folder may be deleted.

not really about rc planes, but still good fun and runs on low spec computers.

www.w3g.us

The guys at the W3 Group make the best sim models for Reflex XTR. They look and fly great. Most of their models are free, but they also have some you can download for 4.99 USD.

[Lloyd Peterson]

I was at Toledo last weekend where I saw and flew Hangerr 9's, FS One. I liked it but even better, I was there when an aerobatic pilot was flying and he said things like, "It's just like flying my airplane" The development of this sim has taken a long time because the PHYSICS is correct and is applied to the dynamics of the model on the screen.
This simulator will only be released when it is right.
You can visit the website at <www.fsone.com> but don"t expect much.
(I heard it was designed by a short timer.)

Views are confusing for RC use but we can see how the planes behave from a fixed position but auto zoom.

Not a lot of planes, but a good variety including trainers, aileron, aerobatics, sailplanes, and flying wings.

It's possible to create new aircraft, but I haven't even tried that yet.
