How do you teach the most important thing of all, and the first priority -
COLLISION AVOIDANCE?

I do fly the SFS simulator, and I do not know of a none German site.
I am a great fan of SFS simulator since I was introduce to it
by a well known soaring personality last year.
Before the introduction I was a bit dismissive about the idea in
general but have become a believer in it as a tool and a fun
way to keep in touch with soaring during the depth of the
Canadian Winter. I highly recommend it as a limited substitute
for instructors and student combos. It will give insights into all
the relevant aspect of soaring including aero towing, winching,
thermaling technique and contest flying, Stalling, spiral dive
and recovery. Flap use and its effect are also well
demonstrated. Even motor gilder take offs with a DG800 are
available. By pushing a button (keyboard) to extent the prop
and advancing the throttle. With a speaker and the right
control stick system, vibrations and force feed back, the
sensation of flying is well approximated.
Every Club should have a set-up with a large screen.
It would help along the training of students. It can be used
before and after a flight for briefing and debriefing. I use it
to help me improving my cross country and contest flying speed.
Ridge flying is fun and is very realistic as well.
Still I am looking forward to the real thing and the all important point,
social interaction.

At the moment only a 200km by 200km aera is covered in germany


Is anyone using SFS 4 during these long winter unflyable days?

Our former CFI recommended it as partial substitute.
And does anyone know of any source of non German scenery? Or non German
user groups come to that?
