Not you two obviously... I can take two people off the street into the 757 simulator; one who plays simulators, and one who doesn't (both technical people). If I ask them both to set up the comm, navigation, and take-off trim, only the simulator person has a clue. While a pc simulator can be considered a game, the effect is more than that. The user is developing skills that can be translated to any modern transport. Most can easily get airborne (even with extreme weight and balance limits), while landing is a bit harder, as they almost all want to be too fast with large inputs. X-plane is probably my favorite, because you can have an instructor console, and with four more PC's you can use 3 LCD projectors to provide the view out the windows, and the instrument panel. Except for the lack of motion, it is very good at getting a person up to speed for the full-motion simulator, and not waste time with the bull**** level stuff. |

After spending a morning on the KC-135 sim the FB-111 seemed squirrely. I guess the difference is the acreage of the wings. I have also flown the C-130, F-4E and F-15 flight sims. If anyone wants to buy me an F-15 flight sim for Christmas I'd be polite and accept. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired |

The only flight sim I've flown was long ago for the RF-101. Compared to it, some of the games now on the market will do if outfitted with proper controls. |
