Easyfly/Picofly Sim

[Daz(DJLFlapper)]

Hi,
I am just writeing a quick thread to say that although the easyfly simulator is at the lower end of the sim range. The performance of it is very very realistic. and the graphics presented with a 3D graphics card are well presented.

there are 6 different models that you can fly. 2 helis, 3 Planes and 1 Glyder, One of the Planes is a bye plane. the added bonus for me was the inclustion of picofly. On this you get to fly the picolo indoors or out and throughout different rooms in the bungalow. I love the challenge this little heli brings. The simulator demonstrates the twitchy picolos caricteristics wonderfully. When you first fly this you will be suprised at how you have to concentrate to keep it flying safe indoors. This definately gets me warmed up before I go fly my ic heli.

No regrets in the expense on this sim. good clean fun.

regards to all.
Daz

Forgot to mention that there are settings to alow you to calm the aircraft down slow stick response slow graphics down. all you need to take you to actual flying, you can even fly 3D easily enough.

I had one on my old pc, which worked well. Upgraded that and have an ikarus game commander box with a connection that can't be used. I think the connection is a serial port (it may be a parallel). My new machine does not have one. Only usb and I think a parallel (The longer one of the two). Can you buy an adjuster/adapter. Or can you get them upgraded/changed?

Suggestions appreciated.
Neil

PS. Can you get upgrades/updates for it?

Hi,

I had upgraded my own PC and found that I no longer had the port for the Game commander either. So I went on to ebay and searched for the gameport joystick adapter.

I bought an adapter and it plugged into the usb2. the Game commander then pluged into that. It is still working today.

Hope that helps.
Do a search on Ebay for a gameport adapter to usb port.

Thanks for that Daz, don't know why but still don't have that much faith in Ebay (considering how much I've used it).

Will have a quick call round some local shops

If you dont have the adapter yet, some joysticks come with them, at least older ones like my Logitech Wingman Extreme did. Just an idea to check out the joysticks in local stores.
