Learn to fly radio controlled gliders and powered planes in this highly
realistic flight simulator. You can use it to practise aerobatics, have a lazy
fly on a rainy day, or compete to fly as fast as possible in a number of
races.

It includes 28 gliders (including some electric), 15 powered planes (including
three control-line), a hang glider, and a quadcopter. The simulation includes
realistic models of wind flow, turbulence and thermals. You can fly with
AI/computer controlled planes too, keeping you company in the air.

The sceneries include a variety of slope and flat field sites. Some are
panoramic, with high graphical quality, but a fixed viewpoint. Others are 3D
scenes where you can fly in or behind the plane.

It is highly configurable, so you can create and explore new terrains from
inside the app, as well as adjust settings such as the wind modelling,
aeroplane settings (including size and ballast) etc.

If you’ve never flown a radio-controlled plane before, you’ll probably find it
hard to fly at first. Check the support website for a video and hints on how
to fly. PicaSim flight simulator won’t teach you how to fly, but it can help
you learn – persevere and the sky is the limit!

You can read a detailed review of PicaSim in the February 2013 edition of
Radio Controlled Soaring Digest at – “PicaSim is a
fantastic flight simulator … after a short time it’s like having a real
transmitter in your hands”.

The support website provides some information on how to add your own planes
and sceneries to the simulator – and has a link to a forum if you have any
questions/suggestions etc.
