This Professional RC Simulator is a must have for anyone flying RC. The models fly like real RC planes, and can be used to learn to fly and to improve your flying. A lot of fun for not much money! Any plane crash cost many times more, and you will be able to fly in the sim no matter what is the weather outside! Get 12 models and 3 landscapes with this value pack edition of our Absolute RC Plane Sim, for big savings compared to buying them one by one. In addition to the included content, you can still buy extra models if needed. As free bonus, we added free helicopters, RC boats and RC cars. The following models are included: Planes: Advantage (Trainer) Aquila Low Wing Sport Model AT-6 Harvard (Low Wing Intermediate) P-51 Mustang (War bird scale - Intermediate-Advanced) A-10 Warthog (Electric fan scale - Advanced) Helicopter and Drones: Model CX Coaxial Helicopter Bell 47 Scale Model Racing Drone Quadcopter Boats and Cars Rebel Boat Easy Cat Catamaran Rage 2WD Car Lego Car Included free landscapes in this version: : Osage Park Tangamanga Island Fliers Please try our full featured professional RC flight simulator ClearView for PC here: http://rcflightsim.com - see the video of ClearView bellow. Notes: 1. This is not a game. You are controlling flying RC models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect "arcade" style controls. 2. The onscreen control sticks are just indicators! They are made small so they do not obscure the screen. *** You do not need to keep your fingers on them *** Sliding your finger anywhere on the right screen half affects the right control stick , the same for the left screen part - sliding finger there moves the left control stick. We suggest selecting beginner settings at first few days before you can comfortably progress further. 3. iPad 1 users should not purchase extra landscapes, due to lack of memory. Getting extra planes is OK.
