Backyard Edition

Anyone used this software? If so, is it worth $20. Thanks

I bought it almost a week ago but my code is still not delivered. :mad: They say (on their homepage) that they will send the code within 24 ours. I have even mailed support@cockpitmaster.com, but no luck. So I would not recommend buying that simulator. It seems to a good piece of software but the company behind it seems to stink really £$€£@!!&%¤ bad.

I have received my serial number and like the simulator as such. I still doubt that the company behind it is serious though....

YUP!

I have it , but Its a wasted investment.

It is really cheesey compared to other simulators.

the physics are not real, (eg. tou kill the engine and glide near parallel with the ground for a unusually long time).

and the graphics arent that good.

If you are looking for Free, go with FMS. it isnt the best physics wise either, but at least the models look good.

or Slope Soring Simulator if you are a sloper...I love this one, too bad there isnt more interst or investment in this project...I think its awesome.

So far the best simulator is Real Flight G2, but you are definately going to spend some bucks.. But for learning how to actually fly, with good world physics, and RC plane response,...this is the way to go.

I agree with artmonster. I bought CMBE a while ago (for more than $20!) and yet I don't think I've used it in over a year. As I fly park flyers I thought it'd be good practice but the (default) physics for the models are all wrong. If you fly the GWS Tiger Moth (for example) and kill the power it's about another 3 minutes of gliding from twenty feet until it gets to the ground - this just isn't realistic. I'd say that the completely free FMS (esp the new V8) is a far better simulator though, obviously, it's not as realistic as the big guns such as AFP, Reflex and RFG2
