Absolute RC Heli Simulator for Positive User Reviews
✓ Awesome!By far the best rc heli sim out. Controls take a little getting used to and the mechanics and physics are pretty good. I wish there was some sort of throttle hold and more 3d helis available!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Recommended with nit picksI didn't survey for 'best' simulator. With that said the RC controls and helicopter physics are pretty much what I'm used to in real life. That it plays on an iPhone in airplane mode is amazing. I'm taking it with me around Europe. The only dumb thing is you can't save your custom configuration. After wiping memory you've got to set it up all over again. Nit picky, still, dumb. Recommended for realistic action..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Add more!Please add planes and cars like PC version and, different cameras Please! Great recent update Happy Blades. Keep them coming;).Version: 1.2.0
✓ Excellent simulatorGiven the constraints on an iPad it works brilliantly in the latest update. It's surprising how much of flying a real Trex 450 can be emulated on this, for this purpose, rather limited device. I just noticed that inverted flight is possible as well, excellent!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ PleasWhy cant every thing be freee Acctually i will go and play some other games and leave this one becuse it is rubbish and too expensive.Version: 3.30
✓ Great!Great app, really helpful for a newbie RC heli owner like me. My only gripe is that it's way too easy just to hover when in reality hovering a collective pitch RC heli is probably the most difficult thing to learn so this could do with being sorted. Additional features such as wind conditions would be good too..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Wow- very accurate rc helicopter simulator!I just discovered this app and thought I'd give it a try. I'm pretty blown away by the accurate flight model and the graphics are amazing on the iPad! I wish it had a few more helicopters (and a quadcopter would be epic) Hope the developer keeps updating this app, it's a must have for serious RC pilots that want to keep up their skills when weather won't allow for flying!!.Version: 1.0
✓ BobboyExcellent App, as an RC Heli. Flyer it's as good as much more expensive PC programs..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Cool flight simGreat sim, would highly recommend this one. One thing that would be nice is some fixed wing aircraft..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Awesome SimVery nice, i love this app for ipad. Great graphics and controls, always upgrading models and features. Worth they buy for me, ive learnt how to fly a 3d heli using this . Thanks guys, keep the improvements coming..Version: 2.65.0
✓ Just like the real thing ...... Without the need to keep charging batteries.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great but!Hi I have been trying to fly model helicopters now for a few months and this is great for practise. But what would be nice is to be able to have a reverse option for the rudder and alike. Plus some more models. Hopefully in the update..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Amazing RC Sim!Excellently done RC helicopter sim, with a focus on accurate flight characteristics. It gives you a good sense of comparison between the flight characteristics of a full aerobatic RC helicopter and those of stable dual-rotor helis that have become popular lately. This application makes a good translation of a controller-style interface to multi-touch, resulting in a very satisfying UI. Graphics are extremely high quality and animation is very fluid. The interactive objects make practice more challenging a lot of fun. Great buy!.Version: 1.0
✓ This is 2 steps from badPlease fix the problem were it kicks me out from the game FREQUENTLY if so it's the best rc realistic flying app yet.Version: 2.52.0
✓ Excellent simulatorThis is a great way to get flight time and learn without risk to actual RC equipment. Very realistic..Version: 2.52.0
✓ Great simulator, needs updatePlease update for the new iOS, all the models have dissapeared since the new iOS, seriously thinking of getting a 3d heli after flying on this simulator though :).Version: 2.6.0
✓ Absolute RC Heli SimI really love this app. I'm 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!) I'm hooked. Hope they keep coming out with new models and flying areas in all modes..Version: 2.5.0
✓ FunFun app. Controls need to be larger for finer adjustment with big thumbs. Some planes as well as copters would be good. A zoom feature so model doesn't get so small would be useful..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Best heli sim found so farMost realistic heli flight sim I have found so far. Intermediate feels a little too soft. Advanced way too touchy (but that may just be my skills) I can't believe that one of the reviews complained that this heli sim does not have airplanes. It does not have boats either. It is a HELI sim. Please keep updating and adding more models..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Absolute rc heli simOverall, the game is by far the best I've played in a long time! It's totally amazing! The downside is that there is a lack of models but overall the trex is the best when flying it upside down!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great app!!!I flew real R/C helis from tiny electrics to 60 and 90 size glow plus a Bell Ranger scale 60 machine. That was 25-30 years ago. I also finished 1st - Sportsman, 1988 Nats, 2nd - Expert, 1989 Nats and 1st - Masters, 1990 Nats in Pattern Fixed wing Aerobatics. Since then a busy career took me away from R/C but I got back into helis a few years ago. This app is amazing considering the price! The sim action in expert mode is very real and can give you hours and hours of safe practice. Beginners can fly safely with AP mode on while getting the basics understood in all orientations. My compliments to the developers on doing a great job! James McMasters Irving, Texas.Version: 3.41
✓ Wow best sim in app store.Great on ipad, even on iphone its good. Best app for stick control pracitce on the app store. Needs a quadcopter gaui330x. Recomended by me rc heli pilot..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Awesome...!Like this app like real simulator on your hand..! Thanks..!.Version: 1.0
✓ Blade CX simulatorBrilliant, has mode one and two and fairly realistic controls. Great fun for iPad, I get that it's a bit small for iPhone unless your a hard core rc flyer like me :) love it if they make one for us plankers too!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Not bad, but kinda buggyOn the iPhone 4s I see a "trial copy" in the bottom right of the screen is this a bug? The sim is really awesome especially with a jailbroken iPhone, BluTrol and an icontrolpad. (you can play with a joystick/gamepad) A bug seems to exist where the system time/signal bars/battery indicator bar covers up the controls at the top of the screen. Maybe this will look different on my iPad? The desktop version is amazing and this is a great port of that version. Can't wait for future updates!.Version: 1.0
✓ Absolute RC Heli SimulatorAMAZIN APP ive worked out how to fly a heli upside down now dont worry.Version: 2.6.0
✓ THIS APP IS AWESOME!I am a RC enthusiast and I am addicted to this game. I love it. I just purchased ALL of the heli's. truly life like withe fantastic graphics!!!!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Great AppGraphics and physics are as good as I have seen. I like this simulator better than RealFlight G5, which is installed on my laptop. The T-Rex 450 flight characteristics are much more realistic in this app. If you ever figure out a way to interface a Spektrum TX, then this would be the ultimate app for sure. I can't wait to see what updates you come out with next. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ BigrichGreat App, just right for wasting a few mins of time or an hour or two...Version: 1.3.0
✓ Rc sim for iPhone$5 for a RC Helicopter simulator with real controls, decent graphics and physics. Learning collective pitch flying through this company's simulator software will cost at minimum $2.99. Better to spend 2 more dollars for a few more extras. There aren't any great phone RC simulators out there, but I'd say this app is on its way..Version: 2.66.0
✓ SuggestionIt's 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!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Heli SimPlease make app preference to set defaults for each heli. Now has camera views and one new heli. Good start. Keep the updates coming. OK for orientation practice and function. Just learning collective pitch heli. Need some practice. Please add zoom feature. (zoom now added) Wind control for more realistic control. More Heli choices..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Sweet RC heli sim for iPadWorks fine, good for orientation training and sports flying. Now if somebody would please make me a bluetooth TX to hook up so I don't have to use the annoying on screen controls..Version: 2.3.0
✓ BugHello! If anybody is interested in an app that is the most realistic simulator it would have to be this app. There is a bug though. It doesn't allow me to select the other helicopters. If you could fix that it would be the best app in the App Store!.Version: 2.51.0
✓ PromisingVery good start. I have a couple of pc helicopter sims using Rc transmitters so touch screen control is always going to be a compromise. Better controls are needed, over sensitive at present. A visual zoom would also help as aircraft becomes too small on iPad very quickly. A small thing but I don't understand why I have to turn my iPad upsidedown to play this sim. Overall a good effort with scope for lots of explanation..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Please update as you have free versionPlease update to the same physics model as the free (in app purchase) version..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Safe RC Training - excellentThis is saving me £'s in model repairs. Excellent implementation of ClearView for PC's in a readily portable platform. Demanding, as it should be, and truly reflects the concentration and skill required for real RC flying. A great way to develop and sharpen those skills. All that's need to complete the package are some planes in addition to the helicopters..Version: 1.2.0
✓ GiroGreat training app. It could do with an option for a giro for the Trex 450 though. A follow camera option would be nice as well but for the price it is quite good..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great RC SimThis is definitely a simulator for RC, not a game and would be a great training aid if you are interested in flying the real models. Good physics model and quite realistic. I'd love a larger sports model (600 size or larger) and the sticks need a wider range of movement, you only get a tiny amount to move your thumbs/fingers which isn't realistic or practical..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Not badJust started flying real ones. Pretty good for practicing basic skills.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Challenging, great fun.Not as easy as you'd expect, but a great challenge and time consumer. Top marks..Version: 3.30
✓ Very enjoyableAbsolutely loving this sim; controls are great, graphics are decent and it is really fun. The game engine physics appear pretty spot on to me after having played for a few hours already. I see a lot of potential for this game and would therefor love to see a larger assortment of helicopters and different environments in the future. The addition of extra variables such as wind would also be great and maybe even some race courses or something? If you enjoy flying RC helicopters in RL then I am positive you will welcome this game!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Trial?Alright so i paid for this app and all but on the bottom right it says trial version? And it would be nice to have a few helicopters to choose from..Version: 1.0
✓ Very GoodHaving flown RC helicopters I find this app to be quite similar, I really enjoy it..Version: 3.41
✓ Best iPhone RC helicopter simulatorBeen flying RC helicopters for years and this simulator seems pretty realistic. Nice to have on the go at work or travel when I get bored and want to practice some nose in flight. iPhone time and battery shows on the top covering the menu and reset button though :-( Hope they keep adding more features and fix some things as stated..Version: 1.1.0
✓ ModelvatorThis is a realistic flight sim for rc. Its great for practicing heli maneuvers any time..Version: 2.52.0
✓ HeliAlmost like playing the computer one Lovett five dollars is too much though.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Actual reviewWorks 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..Version: 2.44.0
✓ Good practice heli sim, more adjustments would be good.This is a reasonably good heli sim, much better than anything else on the App Store. The new version has made some changes - appears that the tail is much more sensitive than previous versions (too sensitive). Would be better if it remembered heli, field, rates and view selections from previous play. Would also be great if it had a custom rate setting for user transmitter adjustments, gain, expo: that would go a long way to be able to make it much more realistic..Version: 2.65.0
✓ Superb for learning R/C helicoptersFirstly, this is *not* a game, its a simulator and a good one. You will see loads of complaints that the upgraded models are terrible and don't fly. What's actually happening is you get a basic, easy to fly type of helicopter for free, and if you want to learn a more capable helicopter you can buy that. The different models are not just cosmetic, they're actually simulating how that type of R/C helicopter flies in real life. I have upgraded and the 3D model is *MUCH* more difficult than the standard free one, which is exactly how these fly in real life, and what you would expect from a stunt craft capable of loops, rolls and upside down flight. As a training tool for anybody interested in flying these for real this is invaluable. You can save hundreds, if not thousands of pounds practicing on simulators and avoiding crashes, and this is the best simulator app I've found on the iPhone. Also, if you're interested in rc helicopters I can't recommend this enough as a way to start to learn how to fly them. You really appreciate just how difficult these are after trying this. The ability to adjust the controls to make it more sensitive later on, and to add wind let you tune the difficulty to your experience level. A great way to learn the basics before buying a helicopter..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Does not 'remember' settings.A good training app, only thing I do not like, is it does not remember my settings, model helo, controller etc..Version: 2.43.0
✓ Good sim ... But still needs a lil workGot 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 doesn't 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. It's 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!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Fantastic! (See my version update below)Considering that I'm 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 can't 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 I've 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 don't think it has crashed once on me. You've got a fan here! If you're 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...you're 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 $200 for my favorite pc based simulator. Incidentally I have zero affiliation with anyone connected with the creation of this app....it's just that good!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Excellent after updateVery good simulator, great for doing some practice when away from the PC. The latest update has made great improvements, follow me and zoom modes added, extra helicopters. Full screen mode. It's a joy to use now, credit to the developers for the added support..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Best iOS heli sim currently!Definitely the best looking, could use a little tweaking on the advanced settings physics. Also, could use a zoom in window for orientation when far away. Another blade or t-rex to choose that's a cp model would be awesome. Great app though. Worth the 5$ for all the sim time with true physics..Version: 1.0
✓ Great simulationMuch better than all the others I've tried on the iPhone. Very realistic control and behaviour. 3d flight possible with CP heli's. Works well with Airplay on a big TV. Occasionally forgets purchases but closing/opening seems to bring them back. Fix the bugs and will be perfect!.Version: 2.58.0
✓ Where's the weather?Great App, would love to see a variable wind option..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Great simulatorI bought this app to learn how to fly a blade 450X. I started to practice on the simulator with the Trex 450 and let me tell you it was hard at first but little by little I got a little better and know i could go out side and hover my blade 450X with no problem thanks to this app. The controls are exactly the same as a real rc heli I recommend this app better then paying 400 for a new heli....Version: 2.66.0
✓ A good start!Very excited to see clearview coming to the iPad! Would love to be able to customise the controls (expo, rates etc). Would prefer if the model broke on impact. Ability to use iPhone as a controller would also be amazing! If we had controller customisation, and crashes, I'd give the extra star!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Works goodLove this app!.Version: 3.02
✓ Great sim!I've got every heli sim for iOS as of this review. This is by far the most realistic complete sim yet. They have done a great job! All of the negative reviews are baseless in this current version. Only thing I may suggest is user adjustable multi point throttle and pitch curves, servo extent adjustments, and in flight flight mode toggle for advanced users. Also works with MFI controllers now too! Keep up the good work! PS. Through in some micro CP birds!.Version: 2.92
✓ Best sim for my iPad, hands downClose to real as you can get.Version: 3.51
✓ RC Junky's Quick FixThis 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, don't 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!.Version: 2.44.0
✓ MagnificentSimple, perfect, accurate snd sensitive to fly. Perfect..Version: 3.51
✓ Awesome appAwesome app.Version: 3.51
✓ Pretty GoodPretty 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?.Version: 2.43.0
