How do you teach the most important thing of all, and the first priority -
COLLISION AVOIDANCE? W.J. (Bill) Dean (U.K.). Remove "ic" to reply. "Udo Rumpf" wrote in message ... 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. Udo http://www.sfspc.de/index_e.htm 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? -- Mike Lindsay |
