Because if you're buying a well made aircraft in a flight sim, it'll have more effort and research put into it than most games, and it'll give you more play time than most games too. I've got 100 hours put into the F/A-18 alone and I'm faaaaar from mastering it.

Honestly, Microsoft Flight Sim games are perfectly servicable with a controller.

Lets be real, MS Flight Sim is sim-cade and not a true Simulator like say, DCS. But I still love the fuck out of FSX because of the huge array of planes that you can fly, even though there are better simulation games out there.

used to like euro truck sim in college when i didn't have my car because i like driving a lot. then i graduated and bought a car and now i can just drive whenever i want in real life.

I often play interesting scenarios in Flight simulators, like flying in shitty weather, instruments only, random things breaking, emergency landings

Its just comfy

I don't know why people think things are so hard.

Obviously, a successful doctor is probably above average, I'm just saying that idiots get promoted.

So at best it's something you play with until you get to experience something close to the real thing?

The best. They need to make civilian planes again.

Because these types of professions take thousands of hours of practice to get hired. So people think there is some extreme skill you learn during your training and practice. The truth is for flying at least it only takes a handful of hours to learn what to do. The time you spend getting qualifications is just to give you the experience you need to react to certain situations outside of that original training.

It seems the targeting pod for the FA18 will be released this month. I had preordered this module and didn't bother delving into it much because of the lack of TGP, yea it makes that much of a difference for me.

Dont know if its still a thing but back in the day you used to have multiplayer modules for msfs that kind of fit what your asking about. There were two types of multiplayer modules afaik, vatsim and icao? Youd have pilots and controllers talking over dedicated voice channels analogus to their real life radio frequencies. There were no tests for being a pilot on the server but to host an airport as an atc controller you had to take some kind of test. I remember seeing adverts for fly ins on vatsim servers to test out the rookie atc. Comfy times.. i want them back

I remember it being pretty damn realistic back when I played it like 15+ years ago as a kid and I remember you could flick all the switches on and off but then again it was over 15 years ago so I could be remembering it all wrong. Do remember enjoying the fuck out of messing with flaps and all that though.

Why not? I have met students from Africa who could barely do math. Either they had bad schooling or missed the lessons needed but you sometimes have to teach the math needed to pre-flight. It sucks but unless they have downs syndrome or something you could probably teach them how to fly.

Long term problem or is it something you can recover from? If it is long term I am so sorry man. You can still take the test as you don't need a 2nd class medical to take it. Just to practice it. Might as well get the certificate just to pay off all the work you put into it. After all the money you put in to train the exam cost is nothing.

You do realise that if this didn't happen we wouldn't have the tyre tech we have today which are potentially saving 1000s of lives. This was a blessing in disguise.

No flying game will be as fun and comfy as sky odyssey on ps2

My instructor is actually a cute woman, but I’ll try my best.

If you aren't overflowing with passion, quit. If you don't have passion for flying, you won't make it. You will work hard, study hard, pay a lot, and not get paid much, at least not until you make it big. Pilot's are overwhelmingly chads, so don't be an autistic loser either.

My issue with it is that it's over budget, behind schedule and misses mark after mark while being the most expensive weapons program in the history of mankind (i think that claim is debatable desu but it's no doubt very very very expensive)

For instance, all the models and variants were supposed to have 70 percent commonality. This means that all the models are 70 percent identical parts. In reality, it's about 30 percent. F-35 is 3 different planes and their loadouts/variants!

Female pilots are the most competent women in the world. You can't pretend to like flying for attention, you have to actually be good at it. Half my instructors have been female and all of them were good.

I’ve only been on a discovery flight, but I really really enjoyed it, flying was kind of a spur of the moment, but I really need a career and be an adult and with the pilot shortage; I thought it would be a good investment in my future. And flying is really cool, I’m just terrible with math, and I’m scared how much math is involved.

Jokes on you, it'll have that and you won't know this but you'll be piloting real planes in real geographical locations through the game ala Ender's Game.

No but seriously though don't panic and tense up when you screw up. Your instructor knows what they are doing and if they see trouble or are worried you might get into trouble very soon are going to take control for both of your safety. It is not a big deal as they do it a lot. Just learn what you did wrong and keep it in mind in the future. They are there for you to learn these things safely and you learn from your failures very easily.

I recall one of the MS flight sims had the ability to set your height to whatever you wanted, I set it to some insane height and just let the plane fall.
It never hit the ground but it was cool being in the black nothingness of what I assume was space

If you are not listed here you can probably pass a medical just fine. If you just want to fly recreationally a 3rd class medical is like nothing. If you want a career the medical testing is more extensive.

Thank god. Thanks for the advice. It was scary as fuck on takeoff and landing, but it wasn’t as tough as I thought, and we only went 2000 feet, but it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Once I get my PPL the school promises a (paid) position as an instructor to gain hours for a commercial, so I hope it’s a good setup

I’m not really a spaz or autist, and the woman was very professional and has been piloting for a couple years and I trust her to help me through tough spots. I didn’t realize there were so many pilots on Yea Forums

It is not so much that. If you are nervous at all you might lock up if things start going wrong. The worst thing you can do in those situations is fight your instructor on the controls. People panic. Even ones who don't think they will. It happens. Don't sweat it and if they want control give them control.

Will it have a third person view? I realize that may require casualized controls, since you wouldn't be able to click all the stuff in the cockpit, but for things that don't require all that much precision, I'd like to be able to fly in third person.

And do sims like this require a throttle stick, or will a joystick and mouse be fine?

Hmm you are not far. I trained in Pompano. I am not familiar with your school but it is a local school and not a chain. They can be great or shit sometimes. I am sure you will be fine. Florida schools tend to be good since a lot of people come here to train since the flying is pretty consistent year round. Just watch out for storms. Especially over Okeechobee. Florida is kind of weird with its Thunderstorm development.

>Fuck, I’m literally like remedial with math.
It is all really basic math. All of it. Basic division and such. Some formulas but you just plug in numbers. An E6B is a cool device and does a lot of work for you. You don't need to know math to use it. It is a cool calculator without a battery that does all the hard math for you. It looks really difficult but it is actually incredibly easy once your instructor shows you how. Most of the time though you will be using your tablet or something to do the work for you. You still need to know how to do things the basic way though. But once you finish training you can just use your tablet to do your math for you.

Yes. I try to teach them that lesson before fate gets a chance. If you treat it with respect it's incredibly rewarding.
This is core "airplane-ing" right here. You don't have to be a math wiz, but you gotta work your way around this handy bit of kit. The whole point is to likely never use it again, but use the foundational skills to one day look at your computer and go "hey wait a minute that number looks wrong as fuck" before it sends you off into oblivion.

Beach flying is pretty cool. One time I needed hours and some at night for my commercial rating. So I took a flight along the beach at 750 feet flying next to condos all the way down to Key West. Then flew back at night after grabbing dinner down there. Was a fantastic evening.

>Are you employed as a pilot or still gaining hours?
Not anymore.

To back this up, my grandmother started learning in her late 50's to early 60's, and ended up flying pretty regularly.
Now I'm reminded how much I regret not taking her up on her offer to take me on a flight with her before she stopped and sold her plane. fuck

W-what happened?

Beach flying is great. An old instructor of mine, before he quit, took me down to the long island sound after flying the VFR Hudson corridor (which is crazy in and of itself)
We were cruising along at like 300 agl over the coast just looking at all the fancy long island houses and dodging seagulls, it was great

Nothing exciting. Family stuff.

>OH NOO MY PLANE CRASH WAAA
LM AOING at you

Shame... I hope it changes and I see you in the skies, user.

I literally poored hundreds of hours into all the early microsoft flight simulators as a kid and I don't even have the 'tism. Couldn't tell you a single thing about planes.

Get your written done as soon as possible, it’ll make shit easier.

Flying itself is stupid easy 99.99999% of the time, it’s all the bullshit you need to know that’s hard.

Do jets like the 747 have keys to turn on? Do you take them home with you?

>VFR Hudson corridor
I never actually looked at NYC. This looks horrific.

>I might actually get a VR for this

I was thinking the same thing. I'm beyond hyped for this. This is the one game I don't care if it's dumbed down I would still play the shit out of. Fucking peak comfy.

>he thinks he can even understand that map
>muhhh sims
based

Busiest airspace in the world is what it is
But it's great, I could have thrown something out of the window and hit the WTC, you should try it some day

Hope they model how Yuropeans obsession with computers make Airbus planes a real pain to fly. Don't forget, only based Boeing still allows the pilot to make the decision that WILL save your life, don't believe the socialist lies you see in the Seattle Times (probably sponsored by Airbus too!)

There is nothing to understand. Just 3 Class B Airspaces overlapping each other forcing you to fly low next to skyscrapers.

>WAAA MUH SIMS MUH SIMS WAAA
>MOMMY ME PILOT ME FLY VR SIM

FMS functionality was working.

AutoPilot was on NAV, There were VREF Speeds. The flight route was programmed.
Its happening. It looked a lot more in depth.

>Sims
The real pilots are talking now, kid

>these graphics in 2000
i knew simfags were highly autistic but this amazes even me

£100,000 to get my pilots license.
>And they wonder why theres a shortage of Pilots

Not that jack ass but I have met tons of pilots and every single one was a chad or a wannabe chad. I refuse to believe you guys are here reading Yea Forums. And this is coming from a successful personal trainer.

It means throttle to idle

Well I'm still just a student pilot working towards my IRA, but a pilot nonetheless

Shut up and post pics of your current sim setup.

many such cases

There isnt a console version.

you can literally get a third to a half of your hours of required piloting practice through flight simulators retard

RyanAir does this new thing where they'll pay for your training and then you pay it back through wages.

Been thinking about it.
But then
>RyanAir
>Owing £100k to them

Because that's one of the biggest 'ifs' ever

I want to believe that they will just make it require a keyboard even on console

>Buy Flight Simulator.
>Really impressed, looking at all the scenery, and how the satellite and AI make the landscape.

How the fuck did you afford it? Rich parents?

You forgot
>Neighbors clap

Let me put this into perspective for you.

There's this program for X-Plane that will download Satellite images from whatever source you choose. Its called Ortho4XP.

Now I did all of Japan in Zoom Level 17, with 1km areas around Airports being Zoom Level 19.

Japan alone took about 200GB of Ortho imagery.

Only done a discovery flight, but the lessons are only about $110 an hour, trying to get a PPL then work as an instructor to rack up hours. Currently trying to get a job at a bank to afford it and take a class every weekend. Eventually take out a loan and go full time. Parents are well off, but not going to weigh them down or ask them to pay because I’m a pride filled idiot.

>trying to get a PPL then work as an instructor to rack up hours
It is still a lot of hours to get your instrument and commercial rating before you can get paid flying. If your parents can help and you still want to keep going after you get your private you should probably ask if they can help if you are serious.

I’ll figure it out somehow, I don’t want to ask them for that kind of cash.

no

It's not "just" $110. You need to pay a membership fee, medical survey fee, theory, material theory, language test, practical test, certificate, That's everything included 12K up front before you're even allowed to set a foot down in a plane where I'm from. And $110/h fucking quickly racks up to an entire years salary. And all of this is only if you're planning on flying planes as a hobby. No one will hire you anywhere with a simple PPL certificate no matter how many hours you got recorded.

Flying really is a rich mans game, that or people who are looking to indebt themselves for life.

user. You are just borrowing it. Pay them back over time. If you want to do this as a career you want to do it full time and fly as often as possible. You retain more and will spend less. If you only fly sporadically you will go way over the hours required before you are ready to take the test. It is not so important for your Private rating but if you decide after you got your license that this is something you want as a career you should really hit it hard and for that you will need loans.

Good. Hopefully DCS has some competition and they add combat mode. DCS has been scamming their customers for over 10 years now with half assed broken modules and shitty terrains, charging upwards of 70 and 80 for unfinished products where you become a beta tester for months and months. This is what current gen tech should look like. I mean it's really night and day comparison. I understand they are two different games but just look at that terrain, look at the sky, look at teh clouds.

I’ll go in debt. I was planning on loans anyway, I’ll figure it out. Don’t worry user, I want to be in the sky commercially

I know mate, work and lessons on the weekends, get PPL, take out a loan and go full time. I've got it

If you're planning on doing it commercially then It's worth pursuing and I wish you the best. Maybe in 20 years when I've settled down and put some money away I'll join you in the skies.

There are different levels of pilot licenses and they all come with some sort of limit.

But the cheapest you can get in the us is a sport pilot license, that could be just under 5k, but you can only fly light sport planes and you have a lot of other restrictions but hey you can fly.

>just reinstalled MS FS 2010 the other day for nostalgia
>try flying from my IRL city east over the Rockies
>damn this is comfy
>e3 happens

Honestly bros this could be the game that makes me upgrade my pc and get a VR set or a fat monitor, used to play 2004 and 2010 all fuckin day

>fat monitor
Funny how you say that because I still keep a CRT around for buttery smooth gaming at 96fps. Framerate is one thing, but the lack of sample and hold is what really makes movement seem smooth.

So can you fly anywhere?

Last I check the retards saying the F-35 was shit left /k/ years ago along with the A-10 fanboys convinced it was the best CAS plane ever.

Anywhere on Earth.

Tower this is November Uniform Tango Tango-77 requesting VFR for takeoff into Kino vidya

Ground this is Speedbird 135 requesting IRF to Echo Delta Delta Foxtrot at Flight Level 300

Guess we could see more at PC gaming show?
Phil was there last year.

it better have realistic damage models.
