Hi Roy, We are glad you like our simulator, we don't need overseas distributors, we ship our simulators to almost all over the world, including USA. Thank you for writing us.

Thanks Artic, yes, we have been producing them for years, we are currently at the 4th generation, soon we will publish new videos with the new models, it is really very realistic. Best wishes for your project.

Hi Tyler, Yes, we were busy shooting the video, we didn't notice anything, we did a fast flight, just to show the precision of our hardware. Yes, it is SkyLab's Robinson R44 Raven II, they really did an amazing job in flight dynamics realism, faithfully mirrors the flight of the Robinson R44.

Hi, we work on pre-order, it depends on when you order, and on the availability of models, if we are close to the end of production it can take only a couple of weeks, as it can take months if we are at the beginning of production, we recommend to make a pre-order to know the timing. Thank you for writing us.

@@apachesimulator3563 are you saying that you cannot tell if it takes weeks or months before the customer makes a committment?

@@bernard4007 Hi Bernard. I mean we make 1/2 annual productions, if you pre-order when we are close to the end, you could have it for example: 2 weeks, if you pre-order when we just started production it might take 3/4 months, . We have a timeline on our site where you can see the progress of the production. But the best way is to pre-order the model you want, so you can know if there are models available, be placed on the waiting list and know the exact date, the pre-order is free and does not require you to purchase, if you can't wait, you can cancel the pre-order at no cost. Alternatively you can write to us from the contact form of our site specifying which model you want and we will tell you the waiting times.

@@bernard4007 You're not going to buy one, so why even ask them. It's specialized equipment ya goof ball not a Xbox 1 controler you can go play COD with.

@@travsudz4544 jup, nuff said!

Hi, thank you! we are glad you like it

Grazie Giuseppe, siamo contenti che il nostro simulatore ti piaccia. Saluti.

Hi Mundy, yes, MSFS 2020 is really great, we have many customers using MSFS 2020, soon we will be making new videos with MSFS 2020, DCS, etc .. thanks for writing to us!

Hi Wesley, yes, our cyclic grip is also used on your Sweitzer 269c, it's a fantastic helicopter, congratulations on your license, did you want to ask us something? sorry, but we don't answer much on social networks, we invite you to write to us from our website: www.apachesimulator.com, also via Whattsap, we will be happy to answer your questions.

Hi Osvaldo, For now we only sell with pre-order, you can pre-order only on our website: www.apachesimulator.com . Thank you for writing us.

Hi AirWolf, sorry for the delay in replying, we are happy that you like our simulator. Yes, we ship almost all over the world. We do 2/3 productions a year, if you are interested, we recommend that you make a pre-order to find out the status of the production and the relative shipping times.

@@apachesimulator3563 will do, thanks for replying. This looks to be exactly what I've been looking for to build my heli sim.

@@apachesimulator3563 Are all the plastic parts 3d printed (like in the photos you provide on the website) or have you guys switched to injection molded plastic now for production?

@@apachesimulator3563 - what's your relation to this channel which links to your products? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNV3orqj3Nuldpc.html

@@cptairwolf Hi, We have purchased a fleet of professional 3D printing machinery, the print quality has improved significantly, it cannot be said that they look like injection molded, but almost. We have also made several improvements, already present on the current production in progress, which we will publish shortly before we start shipping.

Hi Arkady, yes, we ship almost all over the world, Thank you for writing us.

Hi Morty, definitely HP Reverb, that's why we use it ourselves. It has a higher resolution, essential to see the helicopter's various pressure gauges clearly and to fully enjoy a splendid flight experience. HP Reverb :2160px x 2160px per eye, Oculus 1600px x 1440px per eye. it's a big difference.

Hi Xfire, sure, it works perfectly with Microsoft flight simulator 2020, DCS, X-Plane and all simualtors out there.

Hi Jeremy, definitely not, even removed the base with the pedal is too wide to fit in a suitcase. We ship in a 60x70x20Cm box, the components are positioned inside special polystyrene shapes that make it impossible to crush / damage the various components, you can see the content in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v= Gq246JCrr5I We do not recommend that you carry the simulator differently. Greetings. Apache Team.

Hi Brianellis81, hehe, yes, we had little time to make the video and didn't make a good flight at that point, so we cut a little piece, later we will upload videos with other software, Flight simulator, DCS, etc .. We will dedicate more time.

Hi Pilot, we develop our simulators in collaboration with real pilots and a flight school, we managed to get to reproduce the simulator very faithfully, and our customers (PPL pilots and professional pilots Robinson helicopters) leave us very positive reviews.

Hi Federico, In this video we used, HP Reverb VR, it is an excellent viewer with a good resolution, it allows you to see well the instrumentation and details in flight.

Hi, yes, you can also select the weather conditions down to the smallest detail to simulate every possible situation, including aircraft malfunctions.

Hello, do you mean the distance between the pedals and the cyclic / seat? in our simulator they can be adjusted further forward or further back to be comfortable on the fly, yes, in this they are too far forward compared to the height of our operator, but above all, there are no rubber pads under the structure (due to covid there were no still arrived in time), the simulator is placed on temporary felt pads that slide terribly .. and then during the flight the operator constantly moves the structure forward by pressing on the pedal board .. soon we will do more videos and flight tests, on others simulators, DCS, Flight simulator 2020, etc ..

@@apachesimulator3563 I mean, if I want the tail to swing to the right, that to me would mean right foot down. More foot = more grab.

@@BeeRich33 right pedal makes you rotate to the right, left pedal makes you rotate to the left as seen from the driver's seat. When you increase power the helicopter naturally wants to rotate to the right (Auto Robinson and other American helicopters, European helicopters it's the opposite) so you have to simultaneously raise power and put in left pedal, when you lower power it's the opposite, lower power, right pedal. An easy way to think about it is the left pedal is basically the throttle for the tail rotor more left pedal more tail rotor power.

@@BeeRich33 You press the pedal in the direction you want the NOSE to go, not the tail! Same in an aircraft.

Hi Xfire, sure, you can use any VR headset on the market, our simulator is compatible with any Windows / Mac computer. Compatibility does not depend on our simulator, but on the computer you use (gaming computer, it must have a suitable graphics card and good hardware performance), and it depends on the software you want to fly with (now they are practically all compatible with VR), in our video we flew with X-Plane for example, if you don't have a powerful enough computer you can also fly using the traditional computer monitor, without a VR viewer. Regards, Thanks for writing to us, from the Apache team.

Hi Ery, sorry, we can't understand your question, you mean if you don't need the physical screen?

Hi, in this video we are using X-Plane with a separately purchased helicopter.

Hi, yes, it is perfectly compatible with Microsoft flight simulator 2020 all simulators in circulation.

Hi Andrew, our structure was not designed to be mounted on that platform, it is necessary to create custom bars to adapt the various pedalboard / cyclic / collective components to the base of that platform, in short, a bit of DIY must be done.

Hi Jim, we work on pre-order, we carry out about 2 productions a year, we don't have a precise time, if we are close to the end of production it may take a few days, if we are at the beginning, months, sometimes they are in direct sale, it depends on the moment, place a pre-order to know the indicative date. Thank you. cheers.

@@SolidShot Hi, I know, it may seem strange, we do it because prices change every year, and if we write the prices off the site, they could easily be different from the real ones when a user reads it here, so we always recommend going to the site which is always updated. Hi.

Hi Hamilton, yes, we ship almost all over the world by express courier, even in Brazil, for any questions do not hesitate to contact us from the contacts on our website: www.apachesimulator.com or through Whattsapp, thanks for writing to us.

Hi David, yes, from this year we also ship to India.

Hi Husuda, sorry, we don't understand your question, you mean where did we buy the VR headset?

Hi Jacob, of course, it is perfectly compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and all simulators out there.

Hi Aaron. The simulator (complete controls: pedals, cyclic, collective with throttle) costs $1,265.00 USD, the computer, depends on your needs, you can fly using a normal PC monitor, and therefore you can use a normal cheap gaming computer: 650.00 / $750.00. If instead you wish to use a VR viewer as in the video, the VR viewer varies from $450.00 to $800.00 (currently - 2023), the computer must be high-performance, you need a gaming PC which currently costs no less than $1,000/ $1100 USD. The simulator used in the video is our model: Apache R44, you can find more details on our website on our product page: www.apachesimulator.com/en/apache-r44. Thank you for writing us.

Hi Robin, of course, you can fly any helicopter you want, it depends on the software you want to use, X-Plane, MFS2020, DCS, P3D, etc, our simulator is perfectly compatible with all the software out there. Greetings.

Hi Stefano, we apologize for the delay in replying, yes, we are always in business, except that we are at the end of production and we are 100% committed to speeding up shipments, in some periods we neglect communications and it takes a long time to reply to emails, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi Osvaldo, it's our most expensive model, the R44 currently costs: 1.265,00 $ . (Computer and VR viewer excluded). Thank you for writing us.

@@apachesimulator3563 you’re welcome ! That’s really awesome 👏!! It’s difficult ???

@@osvaldoandresverdugoegan6651 Hi Osvaldo, sorry for the delay, we did not notice your answer here, Flying with a helicopter is not easy, to fly well you need to do some practice, moreover the simulators are really realistic, let's say that after the first hours of flight you start to fly, maybe before going into battle online on DCS for example, better do some training first :-).

Hi Bob, sorry for the non-response, the offices are on vacation in August, we are in the factory and we are continuing production non-stop.
