Hi boB,

Have you considered a home built sim? It's amazingly simple to link to the
PC using the game port. Four potentiometers and a game port plug, and the
rest is as simple as building a custom lawn chair. A lot of fun for just a
few bucks.


I think I bought MS Flight Simulator, and X-Plane software for mine. Maybe
$100 a copy or so, and not bad for a home grown ship.

Food for thought,

Tom



Thanks for replying Tom. And of course thanks to Kevin. I'm looking at
a few pre-built simulators, actually 2 of them are complete sets of
Helicopter controls, for not a lot of money. But you are right,
building one wouldn't cost a lot.


Let us know how that goes.

What if any good pc based helicopter simulators are any good?
