The simulator only has airplanes,jets,gliders and two helicopters.If flying a heli helps then....After reading prior answers,I would like to say I learned several stunts and polished my skills on it and I still use it every now and then.

I have had this joystick for about 13 years now. I have played many flight/fighter sims and have never felt the need to upgrade. I have never had any issues with it at all.

It's not a model plane... it's a plane unlock in the game. Don't waste your money on this game... it's really not that good. The stick is not too bad yet not the best I've used. If you find really cheap then might be worth it.

Yes its great, I have Flight Simulator X. It works good on this computer. Better than I thought it would.

I own a CX2, MCX2 and MSR. I use my DX6i on all of them and it works great.As mentioned, the DX6i has 10 memories for 10 planes. I do fiddle with the various adjustments that can be made with the DX6i even though I don't reallyknow what I am doing!! Actually the DX6i was real handy for taming or calming downthe MSR until you get familiar with how it flies and handles. Have fun !

Look up your System Details and email them to RealFlight. That's what I did. They responded promptly

Any of the realistic sims that either use your radio or a replica of an actual radio will work. I use AeroFly 5 myself. If you practice flying one of the harder to fly 6 channel collective pitch helicopters you will easily be able to fly this help

I think it is an upgrade to a quad copter that is already pre-built. Not sure, I ordered this due to my 11 yo son wanting it. We ended up purchasing a complete copter.

Yes, absolutely. Just remember this is intended to be a flight simulator, not just a flying game. Be prepared to invest some learning time to get the most out of it.

The TTS update is not currently being offered. Just spoke with customer support ( 11-9-15 ) and was told that there are too many issues with the update and for now it is not being offered.I was told that they would contact me when it is available ( or for me to call and see ). I do not know if this upgrade needs to be done within the first 90 days after purchase and if if does whether some allowances will be made.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

YES, I bought flight simulator before, 10 years ago, in 2004, now I have flight simulator 9 and X(10) and they are much better. And you can get upgrades on terrain and water, but uses much more of graphics card.my current graphics card, is a 4GB card and a faster 4 core (3.6GH) AMD, however simulator will only use 1 core, software was written before muli-core was out.if any more question E-mail me thanks vince

R. Brown....I use the DX5i and only wish I owned the DX6i or 7. From what I've experienced, there are SO many adjustments under the "edit" selection, in which you have the options under each aircraft. If I'm not mistaken, these adjustments are available and I'd imagine what's not on the simulator, you should be able to make them on your DX6. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed in purchasing and owning this simulator. I've heard where pilots have set up all their parameters on the Phoenix, fly, tweak them and then plug those same settings into their systems and their real aircraft will fly virtually exactly the same. Personally, I love mine and have nowhere explored all it's features in over a year. I want to try 3D heli, but the DX5i will not permit that. Good luck!

I bought more than one in anticipation that I will try bringing it on a plane and see what happens. If they take it then I know and I'm out $11.00. I've not tried yet however. Let me know if you could. I'm curious about it too.

I ran the FSX demo (in Windows Bootcamp), worked very well. Of course you won't be able to run it on full specs, no notebook out there can do that. But for a notebook, I was pretty impressed. But if you are on a mac anyway, you should consider X-Plane 9. It is much more realistic and the graphics have really been beefed up from the previous release. You can download a demo also to check it out. I had all the Flight Simulator resleases since 1998, but am dissapointed with FSX, it just is too cartoony and unrealistic. I am now hooked on X-Plane!

Hi Omar, mine is flight simulator x gold edition and it works well. I'm not sure about standard or other brands.
