HeliSimRC is a freeware, Radio Control (RC) model helicopter simulator. It is designed to simulate the popular 450 size electric helicopters. HeliSimRC is intended to be used as a flight training tool, not a game. The design focus in writing this software was not on pretty graphics or a fancy look and feel. Instead, the emphasis is on authentic modeling of helicopter flight characteristics, and on offering features which enhance the flight training functionality of the software. My main goal in writing this software, is to provide new RC helicopter pilots a free simulator which is accurate enough to provide good training for flying their real helicopter. If you're one of these pilots, and anything like me, you would rather spend your money on helicopter parts or batteries, than a simulator! In addition to basic simulation, HeliSimRC provides:

Record/Playback Slow time, Fast time Adjustable wind and turbulence Adjustable flight parameters, with some presets Simulated throttle and pitch curves Training modes for learning to hover

I sincerely hope you enjoy flying HeliSimRC, and that it helps you become a proficient RC heli pilot.
