- I guess I know the simulator you are talking about. I have borrowed it
- from a friend of mine together with an Atari 500. It was marvellous! The
- graphic is good and fast enough, especially when you don't "fly" away to
- far, otherwise the resolution is a problem. I can say I have learned to
- fly a heli within a couple of weeks! When I came to our flying ground
- with my CONCEPT30 the first time, it took me less than one hour to hover
- and a week to start flying along our ground while keeping my position.
- I just can strongly recommend this tool which comes with a nearly empty
- remote control casing. Only the control sticks and two buttons (for
- shooting towards still or moving targets, which is a great way to
- practice keeping the heli at a certain postition) are built in. With
- that you get the real feeling and not something like "press 'J' for
- 'left', 'L' for 'right', and so on. As soon as I know the name (it is
- just out of my mind) I will post it here.
