Whether you're a beginner or an experienced pilot wanting to practice new maneuvers, this app offers an incredibly realistic flying experience that mirrors real-world model behavior.
Crashes cost nothing here, and learning is fast and fear-free. Rainy day? Windy outside? No problem. Launch the app and start flying instantly—indoors, anytime.
Realistic RC Flight Simulation
This simulator replicates the behavior of real RC helicopters with high precision. Flight dynamics, response, and model behavior are all built to mimic real-world flying. It's an essential tool for learning to fly before ever touching a real RC model.
Multiple Camera Views
Absolute RC Heli Sim features:
· Fixed Point Camera: Mimics the pilot's point of view standing still.
· Follow-Up Camera: Allows you to follow behind the model—great for beginners who struggle with orientation.
These views make learning more accessible and provide flexibility for different skill levels.
Free & Expandable
· Includes a free base set of realistic models and flying fields.
· Over 40 additional models are available via in-app purchases, offering everything from helicopters to planes.
You can start learning right away without spending anything—and upgrade when you're ready.
Smart Touch Controls
· Controls are simplified for touchscreen devices.
· Small on-screen control stick indicators don’t block your view.
· Slide anywhere on the screen (left or right side) to control—no need to place your fingers on specific virtual sticks.
Beginner-Friendly Settings
Absolute RC Heli Sim offers beginner modes with more forgiving flight physics and easier controls. These settings are perfect for your first few days, allowing you to build confidence before tackling more advanced models or manual controls.
FAQs
1. Is this a game or a simulator?
It's a real RC flight simulator, not a game. The app mimics actual RC helicopter behavior and is designed for serious training—not arcade-style play.
2. Do I need to use the on-screen sticks to control the model?
No. The on-screen sticks are indicators only. You can slide your fingers anywhere on each half of the screen to control the helicopter.
3. Are there in-app purchases?
Yes. While the base app is free, you can unlock over 40 additional models (helicopters, planes, etc.) via in-app purchases.
4. What's the purpose of the follow-up camera view?
The follow-up camera makes it easier to stay oriented when flying, especially for beginners. It helps keep the model in view at all times.
5. Why should I use this app before flying a real RC model?
Crashing in real life can be costly and time-consuming. This simulator lets you practice safely, learn quickly, and avoid expensive mistakes.
