Absolute RC Heli Simulator App Reviews

Sim wise its completely unrealistic and the tail is way too sensitive. This is not a sim to train you for actual flight. App wise its just as bad. The game now freezes at the loading screen. This app was made by amateurs as far as coding. All around its a waste of money.

Got the free app. Tried it. Liked it. Clicked more n followed the link to the additional helis n locations. Except its a separate app n doesnt have my other helis I bought in the free version. False advertising n did not deliver what was promised. The sim is pretty good though. The tail is too sensitive. There needs to be more heli options like the pc program. ** The app has been updated! I actually used this app to get up the balls to fly my Blade mCP X inverted. It was easier flying the real heli but I was able to learn the mechanics and get some experience to save me from a bad crash, well worth the investment. Its not a perfect app, but I do believe it is the best rc heli sim in the App Store at any price. Try the free app. ALSO I think the rudder/yaw has been slowed and made more realistic. The app programmer is listening and making updates, keep it up!

works fine, good for orientation training and sports flying. Now if somebody would please make me a bluetooth TX to hook up so I dont have to use the annoying on screen controls.

Not worth the advertisement.

Considering that Im using an iPad 2 I would consider this an excellent app both in terms of how it compares to flying the real thing as well as how it compares to pc based simulators. The Trex 450 set on high control rate has nearly identical physics to my actual cp heli. I would however like to see the ability to select wind and thermal conditions. Additional cp models would be nice as well. Version Update: Ask and you shall receive! Thank you! (New models and wind settings were added). I cant imagine how anyone who flys the real deal can not consider this the best simulator available! I actually like it better than my pc based simulators for the simple reason that having it on my iPad 2 means I practice far more frequently (in fact I realized my pc radio controller is getting pretty dusty as Ive been using this app for almost three months). Already seeing marked improvement when I go out to fly. As far as app performance goes I honestly dont think it has crashed once on me. Youve got a fan here! If youre learning to fly rc helicopters GET THIS APP! Negative reviewers are likely expecting a video game rather than an actual simulator. I highly recommend ignoring any review bashing this app for its lack of planes, cars or sensitive controls. News flash...youre learning to fly an rc helicopter and if you think this app is sensitive try flying an actual collective pitch rc heli (better learn how to repair and trim it first though)! Regarding cost I paid around $200 for my favorite pc based simulator. Incidentally I have zero affiliation with anyone connected with the creation of this app....its just that good!

The next update should be speed boats

I didnt survey for best simulator. With that said the RC controls and helicopter physics are pretty much what Im used to in real life. That it plays on an iPhone in airplane mode is amazing. Im taking it with me around Europe. The only dumb thing is you cant save your custom configuration. After wiping memory youve got to set it up all over again. Nit picky, still, dumb. Recommended for realistic action.

This app is fun to play but quite expensive for what you get.

Boat would be understandable if and only if there were water borne helis

I really love this app. Im an RC model helicopter and plane enthusiast and this app has saved me as I practice on here before a real flight. Well worth the money for other models. I had a problem downloading a model and they responded within an hour on how to solve the problem(delete the app on the device and reload it and restore purchases, simple!) Im hooked. Hope they keep coming out with new models and flying areas in all modes.

I am a RC enthusiast and I am addicted to this game. I love it. I just purchased ALL of the helis. truly life like withe fantastic graphics!!!!

I upgraded it and it had new helicopters and I didnt get any of the new helicopters

The Heli fields should be interchangeable with the plane fields

This is not for 3d heli work!!! They state it is,but you cannot roll,invert,loop..False claims!!!!! Waste of money!!!!

Its a good sim. Not like the real thing but light-years ahead of everything else on the App Store. I have one thing that might improve the 3d characteristics. At low throttle, the RPM is lowered like it would for take off; but when you try to flip inverted or hover, you loose lift because of the lower head speed. So if the throttle was going at 100% the whole time like on a real heli, 3d would me much more manageable. I hope you can fix this problem and hopefully incorporate my idea into the next update. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Pretty good for an iPhone/ipad simulator. I wish more models were included in the base cost. You could spend a fortune buying all the models. Maybe a $9.99 version that includes all fields and all models?

This game never worked I want my money back

This 4-channel RC Helicopter sim (also does planes and boats with in-app purchase) is a nice little escape when you need a quick afternoon break from reality. Simple, straight to the point, and very beginner friendly. Also entertaining for advanced flyers and enthusiasts alike. The developers even threw in some optional interactive objects such as tables, boxes, and jars that you can push around or land on. Physics are close enough that it can help you practice, but given that its a touch screen and lacks the ability to interface with an actual transmitter, dont expect this to be anything like Phoenix, RealFlight, or ClearView. The only complaint that I have is that the yaw (rudder) sensitivity is always either too high or too low. Whereas the elevator/aileron control seems pretty much spot on. (I think that might be solvable if they added user options for customizing the control input sensitivity.) All-in-all, this truly is a fine little pocket sized, RC simulator. If you are unable to fly the real thing for some reason or another, you now can get your fix wherever and whenever you need it!

Works really good for touchscreen controls. Left an awesome review with the last update.. Guess it got lost. Short and sweet; works very well as a simulator. Other models are expensive (IAP) but pretty good.

Good app so far. Please add a FP helicopter such as my Blade 120SR. Theres one in the pro version.
