Hi,

As long as the sim you have is used on a computer that can operate to a level that gives you the correct frame rate and you use a dummy transmiter or your transmiter to fly. Then they are exellant. They will teach you the correct inputs to use and give you the confidence required for the first hover.

The CSM sim is old so I dont know if it will work with XP it should, But I can't be 100% about that. I hope it does because it will help you a lot if your PC is able to run it properly. The processor and graphics card are all important here.

Anyway, If it does not then, As long as you just take it real slow and use a training gear/hoop on your heli you should be fine. Just remember dont take it off the ground straight away. the training gear will allow the heli to lift without leaving the ground. This is what you nead to get used to, Just float on the training gear very lightly and when your confident add just a little more power to lift just a few inches more. Then land again. This is called taking hops, At first it will get you all exited and tense when you can control the throttle better then try and hold the heli in a low hover, Then land.

That is your first few steps to freedom of the skys. good luck, I hope it all goes well for you.
