Unrealistic

I'm an experienced 3D pilot and I find this simulator unrealistic. The graphics and sound are significantly worse than my 25-year-old simulator. That's why I'll stick with that one.

Toller Sim. Bin beeindruckt. Macht riesig Spass. Endlich mobil üben.

Absolut Klasse

Great!!!

Awesome Heli sim great to use and very realistic a must have sim

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Realism is the main aim of the HeliSense sim, so that means a lot. There’s plenty more on the way, so keep an eye out for updates. Happy flying! – Tony

Pretty Awesome!

New to RC helicopters and recently purchased a Goosky S1. This simulator had me hovering my S1 with auto-leveling off very quickly. I have progressed even more in the simulator but haven’t had a chance to test everything Ive learned in real life other than hovering and moving around with the tail towards me with auto-leveling off (manual). This is a HUGE help and gives me a lot of encouragement. Im using it with my iPad with M15 processor and an Xbox controller. Graphics are great, very smooth and realistic. Controller works well. Recommend to anyone wanting to learn to fly manual/3D mode.

Brilliant to hear this! Thank you very much for the detailed review, and congrats on going manual on the S1! I hope you continue to have fun learning to fly these amazing little machines, and transferring what you've learned in the sim to real life :)

INCREDIBLE!

I’m just getting back into rc helicopters and I sold my 600xn for a vbar touch. Same day this app came out… The Vbar touch connects flawlessly and it acts like the real deal. Tune the helicopter as you go and make it as your real one😎 hopefully I see some cool brands joining and OMP will definitely be my number 1 hope🤞🏼 GREAT SIMULATOR FOR CHEAP!!

Thank you! Welcome back to the hobby — glad the VBar Touch integration is treating you well. Noted on OMP, always good to know which brands people want to see next!
