The neXt level of radio control flight simulation. We gave our rc Flight Simulator the name neXt because it heralds the next evolution in the model flight simulator industry.
Thanks to the highly effective programming beneath the hood of the graphics engine, you'll get the highest quality not only on the latest hardware, but also smooth performance on older computer systems. To demonstrate the quality of the physics simulation included in neXt we have published a few videos here.
Content:
The neXt contains 19 flight sceneries, 56 helicopters, 12 multicopters and 2 fixed-wing models. More scenes, helicopters and functions will be added in free updates. All v 1.x updates are free of charge.
Compatible control systems:
Beginner: The hover flight trainer progressively enables more and more control functions in order to help beginners learn hovering from the four predefined angles. An inverted-flight trainer completes this training program. The switchable autopilot simulates the flight behavior of real helicopters with rescue systems (e.g. BEASTX Microbeast Pro-Edition).
Advanced: The Simulator is of course fully 3D. If necessary, the neXt shows the stick movements with four available control assignments. Now you can train blade scratching. Practice autorotations and learn the required pitch inputs to perform the manoeuvre in reality with confidence. The more the energy builds up in the main rotor blades, the more the flight data display (below heli) turns yellow.
Training videos for learning Roll, Turn, Funnel, TicTocs, Piro Flip, Piro Looping, Piro Circle, Piro TicToc, a.s.o. Press the key 'v' to open the flight recorder. Click on 'Menu' and load the desired training video.
Fun: Try to land your helicopter at a box. A optional marker shows the position of the helicopter on the ground. The real time flight data display (below model) shows the selected flight data. Meet your friends online in flight meetings. A maximum of up to 10 pilots can attend a room. Record your best flights and save them to disk.
REDNECK NIGHT FLY with fire and a spot light. Inspired by Camp Hardcore and Tony Whiteside. The only place in USA to allow spot light flying.
Racetracks for multicopters and fpv camera including a top 30 highscore list (offline and online).
Professional film production: Practice camera flights in co-operation between the pilot and the cameraman with the DJI S1000 - including 3axis control and GPS stabilization. The camera can be controlled by a second transmitter or Joypad (Society of Aerial Cinematography / SOAC).
VR: First flight sim with support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive (Open VR / Virtual Reality).
Installation: Optional You can download the neXt in a zip file archive. Just copy the contents to a location of your choice - no further installation required. Available updates are displayed at startup.
Copy protection: The online activation requires an internet connection. A person can activate neXt on up to two computers. However, the two installations can not be used simultaneously. It violates our software terms of use when two people share a license.

These USB cables and USB transmitters are not compatible:
neXt connects to our web server and will show a 'Status: Registered' message. If not, an error message will describe the problem. Sometimes a firewall or security program prevents the connection between neXt and our web server. Please change the settings of these program accordingly or temporarily disable the firewall/security program.
You can activate neXt up to two times. An activation is linked to your computers hardware (GPU serial number). Reactivation of neXt is not required after applying any updates. You can activate neXt several times on the same computer.
Before replace a computer you will need to remove the licence from the old computer. You can do this on the license tab.

I was resistant to cost initially, but figured it would save me in crash cost in the long term. ALSO everyone with experience recommends a SIM - so just f***ing buy it 😅, buy once cry once. I've been using this on my MacBook Pro with a RadioMaster Boxer 4-1 via USB C, no issues. Boots up quickly, has lots of models including my own (Goosky S2). Would recommend.
Realistic Sim recommend 100%
I am glad I bought the simulator before I bought an RC Heli! I love this simulator. Once I got it up and running everything was quite easy. I am learning a lot every time I use it. Without it I would have already spent a fair amount of money on Heli replacement parts and I have only been using the simulator for about three weeks! Thanks to Helidirect for the helpful videos and advice. Get a simulator first!
As a newbie to RC Heli flight I bought Next CGM to get practice before venturing out with the RS4 Venom. The simulator is very realistic, teaches you all the different controls on the TX, while saving you from crashing the real thing. I'd recommend it to all
I recently upgraded my Mac and was looking for a simulator that runs natively on my computer. I already have the Spektrum dongle so being able to continue to use that is another huge plus. This simulator ticks all the boxes for me so I am very happy with my purchase.
Next CGM RC Heli Flight Simulator, has improved my flying abilities 100 fold.
Saves money, a lot of grief and lost time repairing. I taught myself to fly helis ,no SIM , no assistance. Learned much on how to disassemble and reassemble replacing parts. I can fly but purchased SIM to improve my skills. If you’re going to learn to fly helicopters, start with a SIM. I bought the download version. My Specrtum NX 7e with Spectrum dongle to laptop to big screen tv. My skills are improving, having fun practicing. Im satisfied with my purchase. Thanks Helidirect.
It has better physics than real flight. It has more modern helicopters than Accurc and online that can work. It also has great graphics. Hoping to try it with VR at some point.
I own all three.
This one has the best physics and features.
Realflight is just an avertisment catalog tbh.
Does a good job, but the showcase is clear what products they want to promote over providing what AccuRC and Next do.
Too bad AccuRC 2 dev team gave up, had promise and was worth it, but Next really is best of the three IMO.
This is a great product and an absolute must for beginners before you try and fly your first helicopter or plane.
