The neXt level of radio control flight simulation 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.

The neXt contains 18 flight sceneries, 53 helicopters, 11 multicopters and 1 fixed-wing model. More scenes, helicopters and functions will be added in free updates. All v 1.x updates are free of charge.

How to activate a neXt License

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 this program accordingly or temporarily disable the firewall/security program.

You can activate neXt up to two times. An activation is linked to the hardware of your computer (GPU serial number). Reactivation of neXt is not required after applying any updates. You can activate neXt several times on the same computer.

Before replacing a computer you will need to remove the license from the old computer. You can do this on the license tab.

• Compatible control systems:

• We do recommend the use of the RCWare RX2SIM Wireless Multi-Sim Adapter which offers up to 8 proportional channels and works with all common transmitters. The RX2SIM adapter is included in this version.
• PS3 / PS4 Controller (Apple OSX)
• XBox 360 Controller (Windows)
• All input devices that output a joystick signal will be accepted (see compatibility list)

Beginner: The hover flight trainer progressively enables more and more control functions to help beginners learn to hover 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 or BAVARIAN DEMON Axon).

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. An 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 spotlight. Inspired by Camp Hardcore and Tony Whiteside. The only place in the USA to allow spotlight 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).

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.
