Currently available IFR simulation software
Hello group,
I got my Instrument Rating 35 years ago, and have never been legally current since 6 months after that date. It was the hardest rating I ever got, even harder than CFI for airplanes or gliders. Probably the difficulty and disuse result from the same source: I'm just a crappy instrument pilot. I can't ever remember being taught correctly how one should scan the instruments. Now, my other thing in life besides flying is software development. I've used MSFSX lately, and wondered why there isn't a dedicated scan trainer in there, or in any other simulator that I've been able to find out about. My idea for a scan trainer would be a mode where the instruments fade out, all except one, and then after about 1 second (or some other interval, if that's better), a different instrument is displayed in the particular scan sequence that is thought to be ideal. I think this would go a long ways toward curing the fixation problem that I seem to have. Does anyone in this group know of a simulator which does anything like this? Now, I own a Warrior which had a previous life as an instrument trainer, so I've no excuse to not get myself legal again, and possibly get my CFII at the same time. Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated. Of course, I'm looking into what's available in Sim software. I lean toward IP Trainer Version 7, On Top version 9 or possibly Elite Core 8.0. Any comments on any of these? Thx, Ed |
