You basically create an account with them and then have access to purchase or stream tens of thousands of video games by way of secure software license that are attached to your account after you make your game purchase. For those of you who are not familiar with Steam, its the largest video game streaming/distribution service going. Steam. For those in the video gaming community, you are likely very familiar with Steam's distribution/downloading service. Most also have the option to purchase an optical disc (DVD) with the software. Last up is how you get the RC helicopter simulator software. All brands listed here have downloads direct from their sites or distributor sites, which is by far the most popular method. My prediction with more and more radio's using 'wireless' training connectivity & Bluetooth programming, there will also be a growing number of wireless RC simulator connectivity options as well in the near future, so keep an eye out for that. The good RC helicopter simulator programs come with either a gutted out USB adapted RC transmitter that plugs into a USB port on your computer, or comes with a USB/DIN converter cable to plug directly into your own quality RC transmitter via the trainer input port. In the case of learning to fly an RC helicopter, this relates to the ultra fine control of our thumbs &/or forefingers, and thus we need to use the exact same controls we would in real life if we want to learn these necessary 'subconscious' skills. You know, learning something to the point you don't even have to think about what you are doing in order to do it, like walking or riding a bicycle. This is known as subconscious memory, or muscle memory. The main reason for this is anytime we are learning a new task, we need to build new pathways in our brains to control our motor functions. The only way to learn to fly with an RC helicopter simulator is by using a real (or at least gutted out) RC transmitter/radio.
