What heli sim?

[FHHOBBIES]

What is the best heli sim that does not require a high end computer?

You can try ClearView from here: http://rcflightsim.com There is free flight time so you see if it runs well on your computer.

Hi FHHOBBIES,

I guess it depends on how "low end" you are talking about - pehaps some details might help get more appropriate responses.

I've got a not exactly up to date 2.8G P4 with NVidia 6600GT video card that runs Reflex XTR quite nicely - I'm very happy with it - might have ordered it from you if you had offered it :)

There is a demo download for it as well. It won't let you fly, but the recorded flight might let you know how it runs on your target system.

I have an E-Machines 2.6GHz Celeron , 256MB ram and what ever video it came with, I am looking into the RF G2 sim. Would love to have the Reflex but not sure if it will run on mine.

Just a couple more points of reference for Reflex XTR.
It was acceptable on my brothers machine -
AMD Sempron 2400+, 1.66 Ghz, 256 MB RAM - Radeon 9200 video card. Slower frame-rate but passible - would probably be better using the non-photo scenary.

I also just tried XTR on my laptop - 2.6GHz Celeron, 736MB RAM, built in video. No joy there-- maybe because of the video card (or lack thereof). So you are likely out of luck for your machine unless the video card makes a huge difference. Best I can say is try the demo and see how bad it looks.

I haven't tried G2 - so I can't comment there.

Thanks, the XTR is a no go on my machine, G2 works great so that is what I will look for! Thanks for the help!

I run Clearview on my laptop: Centrino 2.0Ghz, 1Gb ram, Ati X300 video card (32Mb base, 128Mb shared). Not entirely smooth, but quite acceptable.

I actually found a G2 for a good price! Thanks for the help!

clearview is a good/cheap rc sim.

im selling my account for $20 obo. brand new is $30

reason for selling is because i no longer have a good enough graphics card to fun it. actually i dont even have a real gpu. it's the intel intergraded 800.

if you're interested send me a pm
