Ya, I got RC desktop first because it free, it was ok but nothing special. Then I got RC7 basic off from steam because I had some credit there so it only cost me like 30 bucks. And it worked with my xbox controller. Then I downloaded all the other planes and scenery and added it in. So I have RC7 ultimate-ish I guess. Then I decided to fork over the money for RealFlight 8. It looks better but doesn't work as well with my xbox controller. If you don't have a dedicated RC transmitter but have a game pad or joystick and just want the software I would say rc7 is the way to go. It lets you customize the inputs on the xbox type controllers pretty well. You can even set up dual rates and expos on them.
I just know got my DX6e from fed ex. I got the wireless usb thing too. They are still sitting in the boxes next to me as I type this lol. Plus I am going to my first RC club meet up in an hour at 4 pm. I probably won't get to fly anything because I am not a member yet but they said I can hang out and watch and ask questions. It is actually the day they train new members to fly, so it should be interesting.
Gonna unbox my new controller now and see if it works. Let you guys know later tonight how it linked up and worked with my sim.
