Simulator & Interface Cables
1) FMS (Flight Model Simulator)
A flight Simulator is an absolute must if you want to learn and become proficient in the minimum amount of time. I only wish I had known about them when I was a raw learner.
FMS (Flight Model Simulator) is a free program.
Version 2.0 Beta 7.0 or the latest version is available from the authors home page at http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e
or Download V2.0 .zip file (6.1mb)
here :- /Kombat%20Train.jpg){kind=small}
Version 2.0 Beta 7.0 is very stable on Win2000 / XP and a little flaky on Win 9.x or ME.
Alpha 8.5 has been tried but not for long enough to determine results.
Further planes are available all over the Web. See the links on the FMS site for starters.There is also a plane generator if you wish to generate and fly your own design !
2) FMS Interface Cables
Many Cables available on the Web are limited to certain Tx's only.
These are both reasonably priced and available for JR, Sanwa, Futaba etc. at www.clonepac.freeserve.co.uk
I have used two serial PIC interface cables both which worked perfectly. Delivery was next day. Comes with setup instructions.
Recommended.
PS. I have no affiliation with any Companies mentioned. Recommendations are from a Customer point of view only.
