Gatt this thread and many others lately are here because of posts written
by
an idiot named Anthony aka msxmaniac who not only has never flown and
aircraft and has no desire to, thinks that most of us that do fly don't
know
what the hell we are talking about because our real world experience
doesn't
jive with his playing of MSFS.
Ahem -- not THIS thread. I haven't been reading MX's stuff much,
lately, so if this thread seem to be echoing his thoughts, it's purely
coincidence.
As a pilot with over 1600 hours in the logbook, over the last 12 years,
I think I'm qualified to state that the Kiwi reproduces flight in every
way possible, short of full motion. Until you take a few turns around
the patch in the Kiwi, I don't think you can quite appreciate the level
of realism this thing can produce. With the real world projected in
full scale, and the panel reproduced in actual scale size, real flight
controls, and a lightning-fast computer, it's quite amazing.
I'll be glad to let you fly it for an hour or three, absolutely free,
if you ever get in my neighborhood. (Just don't show up on Tuesday
night -- Movie Night -- or you might have to stand in line... :-)

Jay I will of course take you up on that... BUT you are letting the big
projection screen and chair fool you into believing the simulation. All that
screen and controls changes nothing in the software itself and that is where
the difference is.
Ask your self this. Would you if it were legal allow your son to be trained
in nothing but the Kiwi and then solo?
