I bought this flight simulator in order to practice flying a radio controlled model helicopter I recently purchased. The idea is to crash the simulator, not the actual aircraft, while I'm learning to control it. I previously downloaded the free FMS software, so haven't used the version included with this product. The controller with this kit works almost exactly like the controller that came with my helicopter and the FMS software works with it just great. It's exactly what wanted.

I was pleased with the usb control but i thought i was over priced. The software

that came with it was defective and did not work. The download on their site

did not work either,it was not for Vista and a dll file was missing. I purchased

a simulator software from another company for $39.95 and it worked perfectly.
