tell that to burt rutan, tell that to FAA, your knowledge of
flight simulators are only limited to your dreams, you think the
rsaf dog fight simulator very facy full? it can simulate
emergencies? u think that thing can have the a-4, f-5 and f-16
avionics all at the same time. u think the f-5 simulator can fully
simulate a dog fight? u think the st simulator can simulate a dog
fight with 360 degree view. u ever went into the superpuma
simulator and they play that bungee jump simulation from raffles
city. u think a real superpuma can do that? there are alot of
simulators out there. each has a different job. there is no all in
one simulator. some simulators are used to train what pilots call,
motor skills, things like emergencies which straight away the pilot
can react to it. some are used to train knowledge skills like
IF/NAV, where u need to use the working memory. the FAA approved
simulator is used for training Instrument flights in a full motion
enviroment not a pc. if u think simulators are for seasoned pilots,
you are wrong again. trainees also go thru simulators. so do they
need such facy things like enemy? debrief is a software feature,
what makes u think that its not in a x-plane? ms flight sim also
have debrief.
just like u said the difference between a real car and grand prix,
no simulator can fully simulate flying. I never touch simulators
when i learn flying cos no simulator can simulate the dynamic
enviroment you find when you are flying. the instructor can throw
things at you in a simulator but can he set the enviroment as
unpredictable as mother nature?
