Fun portably heli sim!
Haven't seen any mention about this yet so I thought I would make a mention.
I was looking through some android and iOS apps and came across an app called ABSOLUTE RC HELI SIM. They have it for android and iOS. I downloaded it on both. I must say it's pretty decent. It's no Real Flight or Phoenix but it's free and mobile! It comes with a coaxial heli for free and then has other models for 2.99 each which is ridiculous but I bought 2 and that's all I need. They have multiple fields to buy to but I refuse to pay for that. They have align models and that's what I'm using. I paid for the trex 500 and the trex nitro 700. They do fly different. I prefer the android version just because I can play with my MOGO pro controller which makes it a lot easier and funner to fly. It's way to hard to use they in game joy sticks in game. I wish I could use the bigger screen but with a note 2 it works fine. I love using this when I'm on the go and I'm cravin some heli flying. Here is a link if you want to check out the website. http://happybytesapps.com Hope you it's a new find for some of you and you enjoy playing with it. Let me know if you get some of the other models and tell me how you like them. They have quite a few, to many to pay 2.99 for all of them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

Wow! They just update this! Do not download this. These greedy creeps just really ticked me off. After I just spent 6.00 on 2 models they updated it so you have 5 minutes of flight time and then you have to wait 10 HOURS!!!! To fly again! They call it battery charging! You can of course skip the charging time buy paying 1.99!!!!! What a rip off. I am so mad. I sent them an email telling them to refund my purchase for the helis or provide me with the free flight time! Absolutely ridiculous. I mean come on. Like they don't make enough charging 2.99 for each model and 2.99 for each additional map! Now you have to pay to fly after 5 minutes. Evidently my nitro model has a battery charge time too. And it's not per model it's total. So you cant fly one then fly the other after 5 minutes. If you have this app please email them telling them how ridiculous it is. I'm sure they don't give a crap but still. They should of at least made this update only start for new downloads not existing users! I can't believe how much people are ripping people off these day in the name of making a buck. It seems in the last few days I have come across tons of products that are marked up beyond belief. It's not even about supply and demand anymore it's just about charging as much as you can get away with. There are way better games and apps out there for only 6.99-9.99 and I know there is way more put into them than this app. These developers should be hung.

Can you cheat and change the time of your phone 10 hours ahead to skip waiting?

I think the whole app scene has seen its best days. There are so many on the market you have to wade through tons of garbage to find a decent one and then they gouge you like this. My iPhone only has 2 pages of icons for this reason, same with the android tablet. Emailing them is a good idea although its unlikely to change anything.

Yeah, just change the date each time it's needed. Then switch it back when you're done.

Wow! That's to bad.
That sim for iPad is how i started in this hobby in Sept. I had to take my wife to the hospital and wait while she had day surgery, and needed something to do. My daughter had just bought an airhogs and I had tried flying it and thought a quality RC heli would be a good idea for Dad. I spent 2 weeks using Absolute and only paid for a couple heli's an it was great. I've even actually recommended it to friends that have said they're kinda interested in starting. That's crap.

Fun portably heli sim!
Ok I just got an email reply. They said that the charging time is only for the free version and it should not happen if you make any purchase in the free version....which I made 2! So now I'm even more mad lol because I had to pay for the stupid flight time. And if I knew there was a pay version that gives you 3 helis and 3 fields for 6.99 I would of got that. The free version was the first one I saw and didn't even notice that there was a pay version. So we will see what they do to fix my problem. They asked me to tell them what happened and they would fix it next update lol! So is that there way of say I'm a sucker and it's to bad they ripped me off but they will fix it in a few month for other users? Lol. Ahhhh what a horrible year this is turning out to be. One more kick in the butt from life. Just seems like this year I have already gotten my share. It looks like I'm due for some butt hurt this year.

I'm pretty satisfied with the app support. They were quick to reply and refunded the 1.99 I paid for the unlimited flight time. They said they are going to try and recreate the problem and fix it.
