  • u missed

  • Hello i have just bought this simulator and wow i have to say it is a great program. i say it is comparable to clear view which it is a $40 program. again i really like this sim. and i was wondering if i could post maybe some ideas for updates. i know you are working on getting it for iphone and ipad. but maybe for an update add float planes and a new water landscape. and some more like movable props, jets, 3d planes for aerobatics, and more just basic planes. Thank you. Tell me what you think.

  • Hope that you'll make this for the iPhone next! I love it! Great job!

  • @RAV3NWOOD Thanks! I am working on an iPhone version. I have a flyable version in development right now. Should be out in 2011. Follow @rc_airsim on twitter for the latest news on RC-AirSim.

  • Did you code this on 360? I'd like an option to change your view or add either clouds or an altimeter.

  • @Mikemc Yes I created RC-AirSim for the Xbox 360. New views and cloudy skies are in the works! Thanks

  • how acurate is this compared to a fight simulator with a regular controller? because ive been just messing around with this for a few weeks and have gotten quite good and i am getting my first 4 channel rc airplane, should i consider buying a actual flight simulator iwth a regular controller or know that this is accurate?

  • @UglySocksProductions If you are using your Xbox 360 controller, then it is very similar to a r/c transmitter. Many people find that RC-AirSim prepares you to fly a R/C airplane as much as any simulator can. I would recommend finding an experienced r/c pilot to help you trim and test fly you aircraft first. Then use a buddy box cable system with that r/c pilot to get you thru your first few flights. That's how I made the jump from sim to the real thing! Hope this helps!

  • nice video! do u know if this is available on PlayStation 3????? It would be so much help

  • @ZeMonkeyMad Sorry RC-AirSim is only available on PC (older version), Xbox 360, Windows Phone 7, and soon iPhone.

  • FMS on xbox ???

  • What is the price?

  • @TETOMANLOL On the Xbox 360 under Indie Games: Demo is FREE, full version is 240 msp which is $3. On a Windows Phone 7 the Demo is free and the Lite version is free. The full version is $2.99.

  • ps2??

  • Few things: How does the glider fly, since there's no wind, yet it makes engine noise? Why does the Slowmatt plane have no engine smoke, and finally, will you animate the actual propellers on the planes that have them?

  • @ambientflier There is no Hi-Start or winch so I had to give the glider some thrust to get off the ground. The sound helps you know how much thrust is being applied. You can cut it back for gliding. Slomowatt doesn't have smoke because its an electric model. I would like to animate the props someday. I think that and control surface deflection would really add to the realism. Thanks!

  • This is a neat game. Bought it a bit ago and was glad to see the update today, which made the background much better looking, and added damage, if I'm not mistaken. Did you ever think about making the propellers actually turn? It seems like it would be fairly simple and improve the realism a bit...

  • @ambientflier Thanks, yes added a crash effect where the plane breaks up using physics simulation.

  • whats the point in this game? just flying?

  • @muchohumpty Technically it's really a simulator and not a game, even though it is on the Xbox 360. So the point is to train people to fly radio controlled model airplanes. Or to just have fun flying a model airplane without crashing a real one!

  • Hi purchased the game a while back. Its Still FUN! Rated it 5 stars. Will there be a simalar game like this but helicopters?

    Much appreciated

  • @012aman012 Thanks for the purchase and the rating! I do have a flyable helicopter version in development, but I'm currently focused on bringing RC-AirSim to Windows Phone 7 and iPhone/iPad.

  • @RCAirSimTim Bring on the heli game!!!

  • @RCAirSimTim awesome, ill be sure to check it out when it comes out for the iphone. Thanks m8!

  • @012aman012 i downloaded one its called rc heli simulator i think

  • free?

  • @vidkeeper9 The fully functional demo is free. You can fly 3 of the planes 5 minutes at a time!

  • Great Simulator. I bought this from XBLA a few weeks ago. Still entertains me. WAY better than paying £200 for a real RC-Plane.

    I rated it 5 stars!!!

  • @PivotDemon548 The crashes are definitely cheaper on RC-AirSim too! Thanks for the rating!

  • had this for ages just see it in my libarary had a go and thought wow awesome

  • @xStarryHaZex Thanks!! If you haven't already, please rate RC-AirSim on your Xbox (1-5 stars). A high rating helps future development!

  • Would you ever Put in a sensative 3d Plane coz i think it could be good for practising harriers and the like .

  • How many planes are there? Are there helicopters? Is it realistic (wind directions, thermals)? Are there sailplanes?

  • @Pastywhiteninja 7 planes. No helicopters in this version. I'm developing a helicopter edition. The flight simulation is very realistic. Many experienced R/C pilots say if feels close to the real thing! There is one sailplane that is similar to the Great Planes Spirit, or a C.G. Gentle Lady.

  • @RCAirSimTim oh my god man, you are some people call me tim, right, man i gotta say i love you for this game, i paid 80 mp and its better than the $300 at my hobby shop, great job

  • @mikethenascarfan Thanks! Glad you like it!

  • @RCAirSimTim its deserved man, excelent job

  • @mikethenascarfan Thank you very much! Hey, I'm reminding fans to rate RC-AirSim on their Xbox. (1-5 stars) High rating = more sales = continued future development!

  • @RCAirSimTim ive rated 5 the second i played the sim, tell me when you make the new one bud, ill pick it up the day it comes out, well, not pick it up, you know what i mean.

  • @mikethenascarfan Thanks for the rating! I really appreciate it!

  • @RCAirSimTim just keep doing what your doing bud

  • if u made this game can u plz put more planes in it

  • they need to add helicopters

  • i love this game..with about a half an hour of practice i was sticking landings and doing all kinds of tricks

  • @silentsniper441 Glad to hear it! That's what it's all about!

  • @RCAirSimTim oh dude, sorry to add btw, just a huge fan, can you possibly add like rc cars, or like boeing 757s models, you awesome man, you truly are a great game maker

  • is it for sale in japan?

  • @HazeAlq Yes! RC-AirSim is available in US, Canada, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, Japan, Germany, and Singapore.  Look for it under Game Marketplace - Indie Games - Racing and Flying.

  • thx

  • is it anything like a real rc plane because i bought a cessna and i don't want to crash it

  • @Icehocey5678 Yes, RC-AirSim is designed to give you the feeling of a real r/c model plane. Many experienced r/c pilots agree that it is an accurate simulation. Good luck with your new cessna!

  • U gotta release a version thats as good as something like Clearview rc or Phoenix rc......u got any plans for something like this?

  • Good question. RC-AirSim already has a very realistic flight dynamics simulation engine. I think it is as good as any available. Skilled r/c pilot have reported that it is very close to the real thing. Plus anyone can try the demo of RC-AirSim for free on their Xbox 360 right now. And the demo doesn't expire, you are just limited to three airplanes and five minute flights. The full version is $3. I think that's hard to beat if you are wanting to learn how to fly an r/c model airplane.

  • @RCAirSimTim i agree

  • is there ever going to be an RC airsim 2? or possibly an RC Car game?

  • I'm working on RC-AirSim: Helicopter Edition!

  • im defiantly getting it as soon as its out!

  • Great!!

  • good work :) good game youve made here

  • Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

  • @RCAirSimTim : Will it still be for 240 mp? Cool game man!:)

  • Yes, 240 msp. Thanks.

  • i downloaded this game 2day and i have 2 say its suprising fun ecept i cant seem to land back on the tarmac :)

  • Glad you like it. It takes a lot of practice to be able to land on the runway!

  • is this all you do in full version?

  • In the demo version you can try three of the planes for 5 minutes per flight. In the full version you can fly all the planes and there are no limits on flight time.

  • me and a friend would play this game forever if you made it online multiplayer for the xbox?? :)

    but its still amazing carn't weight for smoke!!

  • I definitely want to make an online multiplayer version for the Xbox 360 sometime!

    Smoke is in the works now. Thanks!

  • yo man the crash effects are pretty nice.....what other goodies are you gonna add???

  • Thanks!! I'm working on skywriting smoke and eventually helicopters.

  • i hope they make a real flight g4 for xbox 360.

  • I know its a rc game and all, but it be fun if you add 3rd person view in back of airplane? Also, i saw on your update channel that you are going to add smoke, are those updates added to the xbox version to?

  • Yes a 3rd person view would be great. A few people have requested that. The upcoming smoke effects will be added to the Xbox version. The Xbox version of RC-AirSim is the only one being updated these days!

  • Wow. Very impressed with this vid. Will buy it as soon as I get home from Nunavut. Just wondering, how many channels do these planes have?  I'm looking for something to simulate my 3ch plane.. Great vid, looks like a great product

  • Thanks!! All of the planes have 4 channels except for the Slowmowatt which has 3 channels: throttle, elevator, and rudder.

  • you need to add views cause its hard to land

  • like a cockpit or a following/chase view?

  • Hey. Dont suppose you remember me. i commented like 1-2 months ago saying about when the updats are coming and what they'd include. Im quite impressed with the update for the crash effects. its really fun craching rather than flying. yeah. you should add more cameera angles such as following, POV or a camera which you can place anywhere on the map. Cant wait for more updates if they are happening.

  • Thanks. I'm glad you like the new crash effect! I'm working on adding engine exhaust and skywriting smoke next.

  • Do you have any idea as to when this feature will be released? I think you should concentrate on the cameras after that, not that i'm telling you what to do but...yeah

  • I don't have a date set, but the engine exhaust is almost done. Thanks for the input on the cameras!

  • i think helicopters would be a cool addition plz think about it

  • I'd like to add helicopters some day, but it would be hard for me to tell if they are realistic because I don't fly r/c helis.

  • I'm thinking about making a helicopter version of RC-AirSim now.

  • wow that woald be awsome you have to add appchie lonbow plz many thanks

  • PLANE CRASH EFFECT UPDATE FOR RC-AirSim IS NOW LIVE!! Download the free trial of RC-AirSim to your Xbox 360 to try it out! Look under Indie Games in the Game Marketplace on your Xbox. If you already have RC-AirSim on your Xbox, you will be prompted to download the update the next time you fly RC-AirSim.

  • Check out my new video that previews the upcoming crash effect for RC-AirSim on the Xbox 360!

  • Needs more content then ill think about it.

  • I set up a Twitter account for RC-AirSim: rc_airsim

    Follow RC-AirSim on twitter ( @rc_airsim ) for all the latest news, tips, and information on updates and upcoming features!

  • Nice work, this is one of the best Indie games. Playing it together with my dad. Reminds me of the old RC-Stuntcopter by Shiny on Playstation 1. I hope if there's new content, those of us who bought the full version can get it as an update. It would be nice to have co-op gameplay on the same console (not just online) by pulling the camera way back to allow two planes on screen at once.

  • Thanks, I'm glad you like RC-AirSim! I am planning an update or two that will be free for anyone who has purchased the full version. The future multiplayer version will have both local and online support. If you haven't already, please take the time to give RC-AirSim a rating on your Xbox or at the Xbox website. Thanks again!!

  • can someone tell me where to get this game because i can't find it on xbox 36 0marketplace

  • If you can find "Indie Games" on your Xbox 360, then you can find RC-AirSim. Just do this:

    Game Marketplace > Explore Game Content > Indie Games > Most Popular > RC-AirSim

  • i can't find indie games maybe it isn't available in the Netherlands (europe)

  • That is the problem. Xbox Indie Games and RC-AirSim are only available in the US, Canada, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, Japan, Germany, and Singapore right now. Hopefully more countries will be added soon!

  • maybe you should add online or maybe plane race's!

  • An online multiplayer version is in the future plans where you can race your friends!

  • you should add some new flying sites!!!

  • I agree, and plan to do that!

  • this is fun

  • Thanks!!!

  • There was an update that I the xbox made me download for RCAIRSIM but its not made anydifference to the game...

  • I just noticed the same behavior on my Xbox 360. I am the developer of RC-AirSim, and I have not released any updates yet. I think this is due to Microsoft making some changes to Indie Games, adding ratings, etc.

  • i had it but they should update it so u fallow the airplane (my opion) o_o

  • epic game! looking forward to the fokker! but one thing i would like is a tool that could turn the trees and hut off :) and maybe a spitfire :)

  • Thanks! And thanks for the suggestions, too. A Spitfire would be a great addition to RC-AirSim.

    If you (or any other RC-AirSim pilots reading this) haven't already, please rate RC-AirSim using the new ratings system on your Xbox or on the xbox website. Thanks!!

  • Can control it more. (sorry the other comment was to long) and like I said more aircrafts,controls video, oh and more levels sauch as this backyard scene is getting old. Thanks and PLEASE make the controls video

  • More flying fields is definitely on the future features list!  Thanks.

  • I LOVE THIS GAME! I CAN PLAY IT FOR HOURS! But one question and suggestion. First the question, I dont understand how to play. Well I mean I can fly and stuff but like when I push my Left Stick to the left I spin out of control. Can you please make a video showing what each control does? It would really help. Now the suggestion maybe if you can update it more aircrafts and bigger planes? Because if mine goes to far I cannot see it! Maybe if you make that video of the conrtols and what they do I

  • Pushing the Left Stick left/right controls the rudder which generally controls yaw. For the most part, the ailerons control roll and the elevator controls pitch.

    There are a lot of great videos and instructional websites already out there that will show you the basics. I'd like to make an RC-AirSim specific one someday. Thanks for flying RC-AirSim!!!

  • good game  and cheap which is a bonus

  • Thanks! I'm glad you like the price, too!  (It's 240 msp/$3.00 for those who don't know.)

  • I love it great game cheap and not the best graphics but still much better than other xboxlive arcade games

    Thanks RCAirSimTim love to see the next

    one

  • Thanks! I'm glad you like RC-AirSim! I'm currently working on improvements and updates.

  • It's a great deal, but the camera angle kind of messes you up if you get to close.

    I was wondering if any new planes were in the works. Can we get a little peek or a free (or priced) plane download?

  • I do have a Fokker D.VII in the works. I hope to include that in a free update someday.

  • I think this game is great, and i belive maybe on the next update you should add more levels or fly around different countries.

  • Glad you like it! Thanks for the suggestion.

  • and i also forgot to tell that, is there any music in this game, if not maybe i'll give you some music to go with the game.

    that's if you want me to or not.

  • Thanks for the offer! Right now I'm busy working on other features besides music. Not sure when I will get to music.

  • I bought this a while ago, very affordable great sim. A few suggestions - I would like the option to add a cross wind and to expand the FOV so that it is easier to see the ground when you're flying close to yourself. A 3 CH control scheme would be excellent - lft throttle, rt elevator & rudder. All in all this is a very capable little simulator!  I recommend it to everyone.

    If you implemented any of those changes, I would be happy to buy another copy of this great little game.

  • All good suggestions. I'll definitely keep them in mind when adding future features. The three channel control scheme will be the easiest to implement. Thanks for recommending RC-AirSim! Great feedback!

  • " this game is un ovalible in your region" omg thats is F$%#$% bull! new zealand doesnt have anything good on the market place!

  • Hopefully Microsoft will add new regions soon! Right now RC-AirSim is only available in the US, Canada, UK, Spain, Italy, and France.

  • Update! Now RC-AirSim is also available in Sweden, Japan, Germany, and Singapore !!

  • how did u get the power bar

  • It's not a power bar, it's a throttle indicator. If you select a control scheme that puts the throttle on the triggers, then RC-AirSim displays the throttle indicator so you know where your throttle is set.

  • there are 2 things you need to fix. 1 the throttle dose not freeze. 2 the plane starts out at 1/2 throttle. the way you can fix this is by having a message come up stating to put the throttle all the way down be for starting. you can also have a button that you can press that will freeze the throttle like a real RC airplane transmitter. other then that it is relay good and affordable THX!

  • I ment (put the throttle all the way down) in my 3rd line sry.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. If you want the throttle to freeze in a certain position, use a control scheme that maps the throttle to the controller's triggers. Thanks for trying RC-AirSim!

  • thx for replying I changed the controls and it works perfectly. sry I noticed 1 more problem it is hard to see the ground when landing is there something u can do about that. other then that it is a grate game and grate practice. I will tell my friends about it and the people who I fly with thx.

  • Maybe a zoom out or lookdown feature might help. Thanks for spreading the word on RC-AirSim!

  • that sounds good and I got some of my friends to get the sim thx.

  • i got this on my xbox

  • Glad to hear it!

  • I like this on the xbox but a helicopter would be nice,

    but yeah this is a great affordable rc simulator.

  • Thanks !!!

  • the sound is so realistic!!!

  • Thanks! I recorded some actual model airplanes that I have to get the engine sounds. Then the sounds are manipulated to produce Doppler effects.

  • i have this.. pretty cool except ya cant really move the camera but other than that its cool

  • Thanks! I'm glad you like RC-AirSim! I'd like to add the capability to be able to move the camera someday.

  • I downloaded the demo and am seriously thinking about getting this however I have a request.

    Please can you add a heli sim option? Say for a 3, 4 and 6 channel helicopter?

    Just a suggestion

  • Thanks for the feedback! I have had a few suggestions for helicopters. Maybe someday.

  • Hey, when is the update coming out?

  • I think the guys at Id Software used to answer this question with "It will be released when it is ready!". That would apply here. Ha!

    Seriously, I don't have a firm date set yet.

  • i bought this game is mega good i hope there will be multi player and maybe camera view where you can follow the plane with your screen woulld be cool but if there is multiplayer i wud hug you lol ill maybe post some video of me flying with them

  • Thanks for the purchase. I'd love to see a video of your RC-AirSim flying! I think multiplayer will be a lot of fun too.

  • Wow, I love this thing. Nice job. if an update were released would it be free, or will it cost points? Not that it would stop me from getting it ;)

  • Thanks! I'm glad you like RC-AirSim! I am currently working on some updates that will be free to people that have already purchased RC-AirSim. When the updated version is available you should be able to download the new version for free.

  • Awesome...any hints as to how soon?

    Just wanted to say again, great job!

  • I wish I knew exactly when the updates will be ready for release! I'll post a note here when an update is getting close.

  • I've flown rc airplanes and you have the physics pretty close, this really makes me want to buy another plane! I'm sure you know what you need to make this better, but here's my list.. clouds... it is hard to tell how high you are, maybe a altimeter feature? different fields to fly from. wind of coarse, multiplayer would be cool also..drop the 5 minute demo timeout, I know you want folks to buy, but limiting the plane to a trainer is enuff.. looking forward to the updates.

  • I tried to make the flight physics as accurate as I possibly could. Glad you think it is fairly realistic. Thanks! I definitely have clouds, wind, more fields, and multiplayer on the To Do list.

    Besides the trainer, you also can fly the Double Helix and Slomowatt in the Demo Version.

  • thanks for the reply, i look forward to updates..

  • Hey bro. I got your game for 200 points and love it. I even got my girlfriend to play it for a few minutes, and I can believe that she can keep the thing in the air for a while.

    Ok, you need more shit man. Helicoptor, more EDF'S!!!, and more options. Bang away at a major update and you might just bring home some change!

  • I'm working on an update! Thanks for the purchase. It's nice to hear that your girlfriend gave RC-AirSim a try.

  • Thanks for the purchase! The Madster can be a handful!

  • dude i love the game just got back into rc with my grandpa and now im buyin another plane because of this. hope some updates come out soon ill pay as much as i have to to get more for this haha

  • It's great that you and your grandpa can share the fun hobby of R/C model airplanes. I'm working on updates, but can't promise when they will be released! Thanks

  • yeah the sim is just awsome and i was so happy someone made one for 360 cuz there are no mac compatible ones out yet. but some sweet updates would be more fields, wind, planes, maybe the ability to drop little bombs of parachute guys, multiplayer, maybe even shoot little bottle rockets haha. but the sweetest thing would be to fly a p51 or a f4u corsair

  • All good ideas. Bombs, parachutes, and rockets would be great for a sim-based game.

  • this is soooo fun. i love planes and this has to be the best arcade game!! the f15 does reallllyyyyy good barrel rolls. :D

  • I'm glad you are having fun with it! Thanks for the comment.

  • nice pilot

  • Thanks. I need to make a new video with some more interesting flying!!

  • It's very easy to lose track of time playing this one. Definitely a great game!

    I see you mentioned there are no plans to add a heli model. That's unfortunate as it'd be a whole new monster to tackle which would definitely add new flavor to this game. But dont take that as a fault. This is the only community game i've actually been compelled to buy. Great job!

  • Thank you very much! Helis would be fun, but since I'm not a R/C heli pilot, it would be hard for me to know how realistic the sim was, so I'm concentrating on other requested features right now.

  • Awesome game dude! I can't wait to see if you update it! ;D

  • I'm glad you like it! You can count on updates in the future!

  • Comment removed

  • Great! Thanks. I'm working on developing a fun crash break-up effect.

  • When is G4 coming out for xbox360? This is a good start. I love it.

  • That's a good question. I'm glad to hear you like RC-AirSim!

  • this game is pretty sweet, i would just like an update with a few different camera views

    as for that $2.50 I paid you, I say it was cash well spent!

  • Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I plan to add some different viewing positions on the field at some point.

  • This is a very fun game.

  • Thanks!!

  • Love this game so much!!! Just wondering if you have any plans of adding wind in to the environment? This is such a great training tool!!

  • Thanks! I do want to add some wind and gust features at some point.

  • I bought it my gamertag is Skittle Soldier =DDD its actually qwite amusing

  • Thanks!!
