I own both the Blade CP and CX helis, and was hoping to get some winter training on my pc with fsone. fsone will help some but not as much as I hoped. The fsone simulation of the cx is bad. the sim has far to much power and far to much control authority, the sim is capable of 90deg banks from hover, also the control is much to smooth and continuous. These issues can be somewhat addressed in the controller setup section of fsone but the user should not have to configure the stock controller to make the sim fly like the real thing especially on the most basic of helis. I have much less flight time with the CP but my impression is that the sim is not quite right, at times it feels far to stable. and again a bit smooth. Controller calibration is painful at best, it is very easy to mess up and the only ‘error message’ is an aircraft that does not fly properly. I have played a bit with the fixed wing sims but never flown real RC hardware, but I am very failure with fixed wing ac simulation. I would say the fixed wing sims are acceptable, and better than the rotorcraft. Documentation and help files are poor. If you think graphics, guis, load times and special effects matter think about why you would buy a sim in the first place. will only say they are acceptable. I have not tired alternatives to fsone but would suggest finding a hobby store where you can compare before buying. If someone writes a counter to my review please check what other reviews they have written, you may find that they are a very positive person.

We are big fans of the Little People sets in my home.They are durable, easy to clean, easy for little hands to hold and great for imaginative play. We have the Animal Sounds Zoo and this train complements it perfectly. This would be a good piece to introduce your little one to this series. The train comes in three pieces which attach and detach easily, although my daughter (she just turned 1) is only able to take them apart. A song is played when an animal is pushed down. What makes this piece one of their best is the movement of the pieces when the train is pushed around. The giraffe spins in a circle, two other animals are able to tetter- totter and the parrot swings back and forth on his perch . The movements are what delight my daughter most with this toy. She is a bit clumsy with it still and doesn’t fit the pieces in quite right but it is one of the few toys she doesn’t become aggravated with. She continues to try to fit them different ways. We have a few other sets and since the pieces are interchangeable she has a blast putting different figurines into the spaces. She prefers to play with one section of the train at a time but enjoys it immensly when we put on a small show and pull it all together. It has been carried everywhere and tossed everywhere. My daughter even likes the animals to keep her company in the bath.It is cleaned easily and the colors aren’t fading off as with some toys we own. I love it because it encourages her to think and be imaginative. This toy is perfect for either boys and girls and is sure to be a hit with any one year old as well as their parents.

Especially helpful if you have the zoo and the other little people toys. We like to line up our zoo, petting zoo, and then drive the zoo train in front of it all. The animals are interchangeable (kind of. The tiger is sort of standing like you do on the push-bar style rail cars), and the giraffe spins round and round, which is fun.
I like the fat figures, which are easier for chubby fingers to grab. It’s funny how even my 16 month old holds the Little People by their hands or arms instead of by their heads. They readily recognize the people as being people. It’s a good thing. My kids and I play; just play. But sometimes we talk about the animals’ names and the sounds they make.
The train is a great addition to your existing pieces. I’m not sure how much fun it would be without the other pieces (like the zoo), but it’s a sturdy, brightly colored little toy with cute animals, a nice tune (that doesn’t turn off until it’s done…), and an overall nice look.

Our daughter received the train as a gift for her second birthday. She really enjoys driving it around her room with the animals moving up and down, and twirling around. Actually she usually takes the animals out and put some of her LP children in the train. This train is a great little toy and makes a nice gift that is not too expensive. The only thin that FP could do to improve the train is make the pegs for the animals a little narrower. It is a tight squeeze to get the character on the see-saw pegs, but it is a minor inconvenience. Otherwise this toy is absolutely great!
