Why Flight Sim?
I suppose I could easily have been drafted into some other type of computer game, however, computers have never really interested me and playing games for hours on end with little educational input didn’t really tickle my fancy. I thought and still do believe, that “most” computer games are a waste of one’s time and intellect. Notwithstanding this, I enjoy virtual flying using flight simulator. Some folks enjoy the technical aspects associated with the simulator and spend considerable time creating new files (airports, aircraft, improvements, etc) for others to use, while others just like to fly around as easily as possible (arcade-like). I like to use the sim to recreate, within the simulator constraints, an authentic flight experience which takes into account: flight planning; navigation; weather; fuel loads; weights; ATC and weather changes. I also enjoy improving my knowledge on the theoretical aspects of flight and in-flight navigation and flight procedures. I’m quite happy spendi
