Electric RC Sim App Reviews

Alongside trying PicaSim (another amazing RC sim on the AppStore), I have found Electric RC Sim to be a beautifully simple app with a clean interface, unique RC models with their own individual flight characteristics, nicely done panoramic environments, smooth gameplay, and many other great features. I especially like how the camera automatically zooms up on your RC plane as you fly it farther away. I have been interested in flying quadcopters for quite some time now, and decided to get this RC Sim to practice. Was very happy that I did! I highly recommend you invest the $1.99 in this app, and get in some virtual flighttime (where you will be using an indestructible quadcopter that can respawn indefinitely) before you spend your $400 - $4,000 on a fancy camera drone quadcopter (one crash may be its last)! After receiving an actual quadcopter from a friend as a gift, I can confidently tell you that Electric RC Sims quadcopter flies very much like the real thing! Thanks jetstripes.com for making a high quality RC flightsim, and offering it for a price within many peoples reach! And thank you fellow Electric RC Sim users for supporting them! (Yipes! Yes! I know! I wrote something like that in my PicaSim review, do pardon my monotony. I cannot help myself when it comes to encouraging others to support companies that care about their customers and their products, not money.)

I received a physical quad copter/drone as a gift, and having never been around one had issues flying it. I was hesitant to practice, fearing causing damage to the flyer or persons/animals. I found this app which allows simulated flying in a safe environment with the exact controls my particular model used. After a couple days with the app I was able to fly the real thing with confidence, and within a week was completing flips, spins, fast direction changes, and expert maneuvers. I cant recommend this program enough.

This is an excellent RC flight simulator! If you have the full paid version. :p I purchased this app and it was worth it! I agree it can use more variations on weather/wind. I would like to suggest a dawn/dusk setting with the models equipped with lights, this would give this simulator an almost infinite replayability option and verge of an epic RC simulator app. Great job! Looking forward to more options. -RAD

Needs a follow mode and faster plane! Fun game

The concept of the game is great the fact that there is not much that you get with the paid version is whats irritating. There should be more planes and maps in the paid version. Hoping for a update with more content.

This is a good app to buy before you start flying the real deal.

I am new to RC flying, so this app helped me a ton. It helped me build some confidence before I flew my real RC planes. Highly recommended this app. Its great for beginners and totally worth the money. Hopefully they will add some more planes/ advanced settings (rates/flaps/gear).

I recently wanted to start rc flying but didnt own a PC so DL this app on recommendation from a friend and it feels like the real thing and is preparing me for wen I go out there and fly this is the best phone RC Sim

I enjoy this sim, but Id really like the planes to be a little bit larger with better contrast with the backgrounds. I would also really like to see a much wider variety of aircraft. Helicopters, jets, gliders, multi-engine aircraft, etc. I dont get the Star Trek looking thing, either.

What a great training tool. Only thing I could think to add would be gear up (with appropriate AC) and a trim tab like a real radio. Couldnt image how far this simulation has come since I did my AF UPT in the 70s. We would have paid (and did pay) tens/hundreds of millions for this kind flight simulation. Superb stall and flight control simulation. Love the wind. The runway on the no wind option could be a little wider and a little further away.

This is an overall amazing app the only thing I request is more planes and more channels! I know you guys are working hard on! Otherwise I love this game!

I really recommend the flight simulator, its the best on the app store. But itll be nice if u can at Fpv on the quadcopter.

The sim is much better then it was, It is fly able now. I can think of one thing that would make this a lot better, and that would be a hight hold button for the quad like some do. With that this sim would get 5 stars.

It is a very fun thing to do when youre a little bored. Its a great game. But I really liked the way the joysticks snapped to your finger in the old version. There should be an option to switch between the two modes.

This is a cool way to get a feel for how to fly a quadcopter. All you crash is electrons :) When you finally buy one, youll be thankful you spent time with this.

Best two bucks Ive spent to date. Im still inside the learning curve of the multicopter world and using this simulator is so much cheaper than wrecking a high dollar drone. FPV capability would be a really addition as well as the ability to plug my transmitter (Spektrum Dx6i) in using the audio port. Well worth the money

Love this sim, very realistic. I second the request for an altitude hold feature for the quad.

I am not a beginner, however all my experience is with fixed wing aircraft, have started flying quads recently including an expensive 3dr iris+ with gopro camera, lots of bells and whistles like altitude hold as a few here have asked for, the iris is a great camera quad but I never get aggressive with it, not wanting to crash all that money,,this sim really works once I got used to my thumbs not feeling the sticks, if you have never flown anything at all or need to improve on your skills I highly recommend this sim, the quad is spot on with the real thing, power it up enough to yaw on the ground and watch the props change speed from left to right rotation, very nice job, and in the air roll and pitch are perfect, NOT having altitude hold a real plus here teaching my throttle thumb to pay attention, you can really sence the lift versus weight and learn proper throttle management, practice with this,you will soon be showing off with the real thing,,,,,fly drones,,,,also wanted to mention this sim has real photo background scenery, not a digital video game look, much much more real feel,,isnt that what a simulator should create? only thing I would like in a sim and even more on a real quad is,,automatic 400ft altitude limit built in and auto ground avoidance, the quad would over ride my input making hitting the ground impossible except in land mode,,,and the ability to switch this mode on or off,,,Mabey on the next update???

Straight up flying (and crashing) at a mere fraction of the cost. I just bought my fist quadcopter last week and have flown RC planes in the past. This is the basics of how it feels. This app lets me play in the sun at the park at night from my couch and do things that normally would make the RC hobby too expensive for my tastes. It may be a simple flying app combining physics of aerodynamics with a bunch of pixels, but it does it really well. Thanks!

Enjoy this app its realistic as you can get on a phone. Worth the money
