Your computer chair bounces? No, but the view out the window and the instruments tell me all that I need to know. Vision is the most important sense in flying by far. ... which makes it clear I am talking about PC simulators. PC simulators do a good job, too. You've never flown a plane. I have. Thank you for proving my point. The physical sensations can be important when they occur, as they can distract from clear thinking. Yes, but much of their effect is a function of personality as well. A stall simulated on a PC can not ever accurately convey the, um, thrill, of a full stall (especially your first full stall as a student pilot) as you keep pulling back on the yoke/joystick pointing the noise higher and higher as the stall warning screams and then, WHAM!, the nose of the plane is pointed downward, seemingly straight down at the ground, gaining speed rapidly. Yes, I know. But I'm not a thrillseeker, and I don't need thrills to learn how to fly. The first time I did tht for my isntructor it scared the crap out of me. Did you know what to expect? |

Delusional babble. It is important to learn how to handle ALL the sensory inputs, especially the ones that tend to cause you to redo your breakfast. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

I just said that several times now. Some people are better at this than others. Yep, some people can do it rather quickly and others like you never can. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
