For example, there's a company called "Reality XP" that publishes an add-in for the panel to allow you to install Garmin 530 GPS, GTX 327 transponder, etc and another package that installs a UPS Apollo GL50 GPS, FL70 Xpndr, FL30 NavCom, and FL15 audio panel. FS2004 will have the Garmin 500 and 295 built in, supposedly with the fully approach database. Real weather? One of the add-ins available is a package called ActiveSky that accesses the NOA and NavCanada weather systems via the Internet FS2004 will have its own 15 minute updates to realtime weather, if you want it. ... Not trying to shill for MS - as a long time flight simmer and current PPL student I'm painfully aware of it's limitations. Even with only 10 hours under my belt my CFI has me flying partial panel for a while almost every lesson to help break the Flight Sim habit of focussing on the instruments instead of the horizon picture, engine and wind noises, etc. Number 1 problem for all who sim before real-world flying. If a simmer knows that up front, (s)he can sim more intelligently for initial training by focussing more on the outside views. -- "The Final 20 percent of the Project... requires 80 percent of the Effort" ---- paraphrased from Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) |
