RC Helicopter Simulator
Remote-controlled vehicles are some of the most entertaining gizmos around, with just one caveat. You crash it, you break it. Fortunately, AlphaMacSoftware now brings the thrill of flying, minus the hefty expenses, with RC Helicopter Simulator.
RC Helicopter Simulator is, well, an RC helicopter simulator. The simulation is fairly realistic. The chopper can pitch (nose up or down), roll (tilting left to right), and rotate in place. There are adjustable camera options, while the wind speed/direction and turbulence can be tweaked, for extra realism.
For the casual user, the keyboard is just fine. It’s easy to use and you won’t need to shell out extra for a dedicated controller. Hardcore users can buy either a digital controller (with 8 inputs) or an analog device (with 2 analog sticks). These offer much more precision over the keyboard.
The simulator comes with two sceneries and two helicopters, though you can add many more yourself. AlphaMacSoftware even provides tutorials on how to construct sceneries and helicopters, for the DIY modders out there. These add-ons are sure to provide more hours of fun.
While the graphics won’t win any awards, RC Helicopter Simulator does provide some fun playing with your very own chopper. Keep in mind this is an RC simulator, so the camera views will feel a little different compared to a full-fledged flight simulator. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
RC Helicopter Simulator is currently shareware and costs 30 euros.
That doesn’t look too bad, but the simulators for PC’s look to be a bit more realistic.
