What Makes Absolute RC Heli Sim Stand Out
Professional RC helicopter and drone simulator – a must have for anyone flying RC. We have the most realistic flight behavior on mobile phones and tablets. Our models fly just the same as real RC models, in real RC flying fields. Do not fly your real model before trying this program! Don't crash your models, crash ours! Crashing models here cost nothing.This application will save you money, frustration and many days in waiting for model parts.
Learn to fly without fear. Rain or wind outside, start flying right now!
The program includes wide range of RC models, from starter models to expensive aerobatic and scale models. This is the only RC simulator that includes RC boats and RC cars, in addition to excellent simulation of RC helicopters, RC planes and RC drones. Great for experienced modelers, and even greater for kids or someone who is just starting in this exciting hobby.
The program includes 3 free interactive object sets that can be loaded on any flying field when flying helicopters. The interactive objects can be used to learn landing and precise model control.
In addition to the fixed point camera that represents the RC pilot point of view, we have included follow up camera that follows the model. That is useful when you just start, so the model never gets away.
Notes:
- This is not a game. You are controlling flying RC models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect "arcade" style controls.
- The onscreen control sticks are just indicators! They are made small so they do not obscure the screen.
You do not need to keep your fingers on them
Sliding your finger any where on the right screen half affects the right control stick , the same for the left screen part – sliding finger there moves the left control stick.
We suggest to select beginner settings at first few days before you can comfortably progress further.
This Sports game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
It was easy to get use to but there need to be more model to pick from like 3d jet Im pretty good with the 3d prop planes.
We went from knowing nothing, to being fully confident.
Please make a way to change game volume or mute it theres no way to adjust thank you.

So we like RC Plane and helicopters game stuff like that. And yesterday, we didnt have internet so we used hotspot to play roblox, the hotspot was running low so we had to find a game we liked with no internet required. We found this, downloaded it. We saw the helicopters like the model CX, drone, Bell 47. They even have planes, cars and boats. There is 2 boats that do not need in app purchase. And there is 2 planes that do not need in app purchase. Planes like the advantage or the aquilla (sr22), we love this game also because it does not require internet.
One of the best games about flying that we know and love.
Do you know when it says if you buy something if over remove every ad in the game. Well, heres our solution. Well, you could Buy the helicopter or plane or you can just turn off your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
This is the only working Rc game we have andits amazing! We mean, THERE IS A TRANSFORMER PLANE THATS JUST WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO COOL.
Just one complaint needs in game settings options like volume in gameplay settings.
Very fun, but you have to purchase in game models if you want to fly different kinds.

Absolutely amazing we love this app, definitely recommend for first time flyers.
It is a awesome game but if you could add a f-18 that would complete the game.
Great sim for training all ages to fly and you can crash and just touch reset Thanks for a great app. EMS.
It is good practice flying a real toy drone or helicopter or a plane or car or a boat.
Flew RC foxed /heli 40 years ago, then got into the real thing.Back now with an fpv racing drone. Seems every high rated free and pay sim is either "chase" view or fpv. Chase is useless. If you're on the ground without fpv you need to know controls when the quad is too far to see orientation and to know reverse controls when it yaws 180deg facing you. None of those sims does it. This app DOES and the stick response is crazy real..crazy – at least in non-airo mode. Haven't tried airmode yet as the real quad is very jumpy. Graphics too are realistic and so non-distracting to our brain. Only downside is on-screen sticks – no feedback but that goes with the territory. Bluetooth anyone? Highly recommended if your needs are as above.
This game is awesome we love it but we cant afford to pay for more Helis planes lands boats cars can you pay for us please.
Can you please add to make 21 its a really good plane.
We wish we could just get the plane one.
Game is a little tricky to control and connect a Game controller but once you find out how it gets easier and easier we have been playing this game for years and we are at the highest drone the game is really addicting and we love it.
PLEASE ADD THE ALIGN TREX 150 its our dream heli.
The best game we ever played we play 24/7.
Great replication of desktop sim. Would be more compelling as a serious sim and perhaps make more pilots and students sticky if it included a free cp heli. We use it on iPhone and it does help and translate to real world experience.
Wish there was a train too, it would be perfect.
The Coast guard Heli Its So Awesome Add A Donald Trump Helicopter.
This simulator is great! We feel like you shouldnt need to pay to use other models, and there could also be less ads. Each button that we click pretty much has an ad of some sort.
Its free and its the most realistic for what you paid for. Quick, easy, fun (-) the random advertising.
Whenever we try to purchase something in the app it tells us to confirm our information. We click confirm and it never loads.
We were driving and driving and driving and driving but then we wet through the ground we were going in the void and flyed and saw the map at full speed. Other map driving of course not going through the map the map ends but still drivingok its a good game but u need to fix BUGS.
Its a really great game it has some soft controls too but the only problem is that most of the items you have to pay for and we really sont like using the same stuff over and over.
You should be able to fly all the vehicles.
Its a great game but whats always annoying is that you HAVE to buy everything. It would be better if there were points or some in game currency to buy other things. Other than that its a great game.
It won't let us get any of the free models it says we have to buy them please take that off please right now until it gets fixed 2 stars.
We dont like this game because we want to have all of the boats,cars,helicopters, and planes free and given to us and that is why we dont like this game very much.
Its a good game but there are WAY to many ads. Whenever we reset there is a ad and it is the same ad over and over and over. It is super annoying. Please fix that.
No current models. Pay $3 each to fly dated models with barely any control and terrible sounds.
This is yet another game that has violent realistic shooting ads within the game. Be warned.
We purchased one of the models from the app using Apple Pay and our card was charged 2.99 6 times resulting in a 17.94 dollar charge vs the 2.99 charge that was supposed to have processed. We emailed the support email listed but got a return email stating that our email was not deliverable. We do like the app, and would happily revise our review if the proper amount can be refunded.
We hate it so much dont wast time buying any thing it is horrible game.
Sometimes the sound stops working. Sometimes the model just does its own thing & doesnt respond. We WANT MY MONEY BACK.
Why can't we have it the way it was before we could see the controls and it's just harder than it was before.
Why so much we The preview it looked cool but then it said we needed to pay to get a cool fast helicopter or plane your preview is fake all the pictures are too.
We love the race track world it is so fun.
One of the best free apps we have seen. Fairly small download but has many great features. Without AP engaged is a very realistic challenge. AP stabilizes things so a beginner can be flying in no time. The adds are fine with us and are easily closed. Ill keep this app and the more we work with it the more we think we will upgrade to unlock all the features.
The RC Models you pay for is cheap up to $2.99 the reason why we say it is cheaper than most simulators is that when you buy a simulator online they would cost $100-$149 But you should add lessons on 3D putting videos and how to hover for beginners.
We just downloaded the app today and love it! Our boyfriend introduces us to RC helicopters at a pull and we were hooked!! Now we want to be one of the few women pilots out there with the best of them.
This simulator is very useful for familiarizing yourself with actual rc controls. Practice is essential for the ability to avoid costly real life crashes.
Ive seen some great improvements to this app in the last 6 years or so. Before that we ran Clearview on our PC. We guess you could say that this dev has helped make us the RC pilot we are today. Allowing us to develop our RC flight skills to second nature saving us a ton of money and making it so much more fun in the field flying expensive Helis and Planes. Since installing Absolute and Clearview years ago we have grown our hangar to include thousands of dollars in model planes as well as helicopters and even more on drones, some of which we fly professionally. Sure we could spend $200 or more on a PC simulator that is so heavy on resources it barely runs, even if you have the components to run it. Instead, we just pick up our iPad and warm up before taking up the $1000 plus aircraft. Its less about the muscle memory on real sticks and way more about developing proper reflexes to handle the aircraft in any orientation and situation without jerking the sticks the wrong way when you tip stall or graze a tree branch. , Flyclopse.
