AeroFly sim transmitter?

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Got my s/w today and installed it.  Very nice, and besides the Smaragd there's helis, jets, etc.  It's like getting the GP with the add-on packs.  I understand you can even download planes designed by others or design your own. More than I need now.

My question is how to best set it up for pattern practice. I think I heard that box markers can be set.  Also, I haven't found a view that gives me the pilots box perspective so I can actually fly parallel to the flight line and in the box.  Any suggestions?

  Lance, I just got Aerofly Pro myself and have been using an older Futabe 7UAP with no RF module in it for the TX.  Battery lasts forever without an RF load on it.  Works great and I am not wearing out my 'good' TX.  I am impressed by the 'feel' of Aerofly Pro compared to the older Realflight G2.  Have also tried the Realflight G3 and my vote goes for AFP.  The included Smaradg feels real good, actually snaps and spins and the out of the box setup is pretty close.  I increased the down elev throw a little and also bumped the rudder a little and that is all.

    So I think I've seen that most everyone thinks the Ikarus AeroFly Pro simulator is good for pattern.  I'm thinking of getting a sim but I'm nervous about using my transmitter with the antenna down.  Don't want to overload the RF and I don't want to sit at my computer with a 3 foot antenna banging off my office furniture.  Oh, and I don't want to buy a new transmitter that lets me turn off the RF.  What are you all doing for a transmitter?
