Anyone interested in RC Sim?
Need a little practice before you put that new wing in the skies? (I do)

I ran across an advertisement for RC Sim while on Ebay, and thought why not? the price was right $12
This also has Phoenix, Aero flight and others (see the disc contents below)






Here are the contents of the disc.
FYI, I have a decent computer (I7 core and 16 ram) and still it took a LONG time to install it from the disc.





I installed Phoenix 5.5

Set up a Sim model in Taranis, no mixes. Be sure to set radio to ppm. 
I have the internal and external RF set to OFF.



Connect the supplied cable from the Taranis trainer port to the dongle. There are 4 settings on the dongle, chose the one
that works for whatever Sim you are using. I chose #4..Phoenix RC.  
With the radio OFF, plug the dongle into the usb port and the dongle cable into the radio trainer port. Now turn on the radio and
the dongle led will be solid until the radio is calibrated to the program.
Note: Just like on a normal quad/wing start up, if the radio has a switch/stick warning it will not connect.

Start the Sim program, calibrate the Taranis (the Phoenix software would not recognize any switches, just the control sticks)
I have not tried any of the other software.





This version has fixed wing, heli's, only 2 quads . But hey, it beats shoveling snow.

I'm ready for winter

Nice, you’re all set! Some time ago I had a, ehm, very legal copy Phoenix RC simulator working with a Flysky simulator cable set up, but ever since I switched to Frsky, I only fly DRL sometimes. Quads only, naturally.

This is how I practice my planes los skills   Great way to kill some time on the subway on the way to work    It’s Absolute RC Simulator for iOS.

Thats the first thing I did was check on Phoenix and I found out that they went belly up over a year ago and no updates, no support etc. 
I found the Absolute Rc a few days ago and it was a good step to get some sim time. I wish these had decent FPV but they dont
