The sim is ideal for me as i've never flown more than 3 channels! Love my Radian and I'll be ready for the Rad pro when she arrives.

Cheerio

What are you using with your DX6i for a usb connection?

Yes, I've been test-flying the latest edition for Davy for the last few weeks. Helped him find and fix a few bugs. Also collaborated with him on the winds and flight condition presets. It's been a fun experience for me so far.

It's a great sim to learn on, fly lots of different planes and have some fun. The editor included in the download will give you a chance to edit the planes' flight model settings and get into "building" sim planes if you really really want to...

If you've already got a controller configured, it's a piece of cake to download it, set up the controls and give it a shot. If not, there's a helpful manual included with the download that gives some controller options for folks.

Tried the program but it runs choppy on my laptop. I purchased Clearview and an quite happy with it but will wait for the November upgrade to RCDeskPilot before passing final judgement - or maybe it's my laptop. Plane graphics are cool though.
