Lightbulb RC Simulator - R/C Desk Pilot

Hi everybody,
I just wanted you to know that a new R/C Flight Sim called "R/C Desk Pilot" is available from rcdeskpilot.com.

It's still getting developed further but at the moment supports:
  • 4 R/C airplanes with a pretty realistic flightmodel
  • thermal soaring, wind
  • 3D environment
  • pylon racing
And the best part is: it's free!

Feedback is welcome.

Cheers,
Davy

This looks VERY impressive for being free. I'll have to give it a try.

How come I can't get it to work on my computer. I have Windows XP. When I try to run it, it comes up with a box saying it was unable to run the program and had to close it. Any ideas?
