Hey guys, new here. Just received my first quad today, Phantom Vision 2 + V3.0, and setting it up now.
Phoenix RC flight simulator has a Phantom model you can download, and the program works with my Spektrum aircraft radios. I haven't tried and don't think the DJI transmitter will work. The model in the simulator does not have a camera, GPS, or stabilization, and the throttle works like a standard airplane throttle, as in throttle up from the bottom to climb and back down to descend or land. You pretty much have to fly it with no help from gadgets.
I fly ultra micro to giant scale RC planes, and boy did I feel silly trying a quad on the simulator at first. Crash after crash. A couple of weeks into it I feel pretty confident now with the simulator time. I have found that Phoenix is fairly accurate as far as how most of the planes fly and feel, and a good aid in training for learning, and for patterns and aerobatics. And it's good for the times you can't get to the field.
I think you can find it for around $129 without a transmitter, and a bit more for an included one. Also, I bought it 4 years ago, and so far, all the new updates/versions and numerous new models have downloaded free.
I'll find out tomorrow morning how accurate it is with the Phantom. Definitely starting with GPS mode.
