CRRCsim – Charles River Radio Controllers Simulation

CRRCsim is the “Charles River Radio Controllers Simulation”. It is a model-airplane flight simulation program.

This software allows you to learn how to fly model aircraft, test new aircraft designs, and improve your skills by practicing on a computer.

It is based on LARCsim, the NASA Langley Research Center simulator.

Features include:

• 3D representation of the aircraft.
• Very realistic flight model.
• Powered models and gliders, helicopter and multicopter.
• Models include:
  • Allegro – 2-meter composite glider.
  • Apogee – hand-launched glider.
  • biplane2 – powered biplane.
  • Crossfire – F3B/F3F glider.
  • Erwin – Erwin 2M all-around glider.
  • FlexiflyXLM – powered beginner’s polyhedral plane.
  • outrage – a V-tailed slope soarer.
  • quickie01 – a powered canard-winged plane.
  • Skorpion – an F3F-oriented slope soarer.
  • superzagl – a Zagi powered flying wing.
• Side arm launch.
• Good graphics.
• Great variety of how to control the model:
  • Use your R/C transmitter (connected to the parallel port, to the serial port via an “FMS PIC”-style cable or simply to your sound card’s audio input).
  • Mouse.
  • Joystick.
  • Keyboard.
  • Autopilot.
