I run my Realflight directly through my laptop. The transmitter is usb. I can also use my Spektrum Dx6e if I want to. As far as making a video, I just put my phone on my car transmitter mount. Pretty low budget but I am far from a videographer.
I am going to use my digital camera on a tripod...
Using a sim like the Realflight 9 is a big difference from the real rc plane but I assure you it helped me.
I mentioned before I wasn't smart enough to set up the gps on my plane for safe mode flying so I disabled it. My first flight was flawless and I learned from my simulator.
Keeping it up in...
This was my first and like I mentioned above, I disabled the safe mode because I was having a tough time with the gps.

Kevin , I highly recommend a Realflight sim. Mine is the Realflight 9.
It taught me how to fly before my actual first flight. I used a trainer plane with my first flight but I couldn't figure out the gps on it so I disabled the training mode and my flight was flawless. Trust me, this will help...
I never have but thought about it. The wife has even asked about it.
I haven't used my flight sim in over a year so I was pretty erratic. They are a ton of fun though.
I can't really handle the heat anymore so I broke out my Realflight sim. My flying is pretty shaky because I didn't mess with the trim and it's been over a year since I used it.
If anybody wants to get into flying then I highly recommend this. Boring video but was fun..
