I then got a E_Sky HoneyBee Fixed Pitch heli which allows you to use the Tx for sims so I used that but recently I got the USB E_Sky sim kit ($20) and its soo nice not having to keep spare batteries around for the Tx (Which I had to do when using my HBFP Tx)įor Instructions about installing FMS or the additional Models or Landscapes Look here FMS can be set up to use a keyboard, USB gamepad that connects to your comp (even Xbox controllers have been reported to work too) or the best thing to do is get the E_Sky Sim Kit from nitroplanes for $20 There are also additional sceneries and models that can be downloaded to increase the "realism" (they're also free to download)įMS works best on XP, alot of people have problems using it on 64bit Vista, normal Vista will require another file to make FMS work, I don't use Vista so I can't help you with that.

I have AeroFly Pro Deluxe and FMS, but I do most of my training for planes on FMS so I thought I'd share some more info about making it better.įMS (Flying Model Simulator) is a free flight sim that anyone can download. Open the zip file and copy D3DRM.DLL to the FMS directory which should be under "C:Program Files (x86) > FMS".I'm just starting to get into flying planes (I already fly helis).

If you get "D3DRM.DLL is not loaded" error we have provided it inside the download. Any RC fan will tell you Real Flight is the way to go but you're looking at in the $150 plus range, with a controller, so if you just want a free alternative and want to appreciate why Real Flight is so expensive, here you go. Normally, this wouldn't make the cut here but your options in free RC flight simulators are non-existent. It has a long way to go but most likely will work better on operating systems before Windows 10. It comes with about 20 models, including helicopters and about 15 sceneries.

Other small annoyances show up like having to load a scenery numerous times. We found that the game is indeed a beta with some speed issues and some crashing in Windows 10. You can purchase a controller from them, but the keyboard keys work very well and are easy to configure if you just want to play around with the simulator. FMS (Flying Model Simulator) is an RC Flight Simulator featuring several of their real model RC airplanes to train on before flying the real thing.
