It's fun!Д¬ontact Don Lindich at and use the 'submit question' link on that site. You can also build your own little world with the custom airplanes and scenery and fly around the world. There are a lot of good forums online where you will find other enthusiasts eager to help.ДЄ home flight simulator won't make you into a real pilot, but it can build a lot of knowledge and skill that will give you a big advantage if you do start taking lessons. A good plane to start with is the Cessna 172 that is included in the FSX package. It will lead to endless crashes and a lot of frustration, especially if you max out the realism settings to make it as unforgiving and realistic as possible. If you decide to try your hand at simulation, don't start with jets. It duplicates all the aircrafts systems and mimics the flight model of a real 737 within 5 percent.

You can get many for free at The most realistic airliner you can buy is the PMDG 737NG, designed in cooperation with Boeing. Part of the fun of simulation is you can try lots of different planes. How real? Once I had to wait in line on the tarmac for half an hour before taking off, waiting behind other planes taking off one by one! ( ) It adds actual airlines and realistic air traffic, fully integrated into FSXs air traffic control. It enhances the scenery and downloads actual weather patterns and loads them into your simulator.ДЇor traffic I use ICE AI traffic, which is free. I use Real Environment Extreme ( ) for weather and scenery.

I use the Saitek Pro Flight yoke, throttle, pedals, autopilot, and switch panel interfaces with the SPAD driver. Most home simmers have something more modest. This requires a six-figure budget and a lot of skill. It is possible to build a non-moving home simulator that exactly mimics a real airliner cockpit, but doesn't move. Dedicated NVidia video cards are also recommended. AMD chips will run FSX but tests show it works best on Intel. You need a very fast computer to run FSX well. I run FSX so it is what I will discuss here. The two major flight simulation programs are Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) or X-Plane. There has been a lot of interest in the subject lately because of the Malaysian Airlines 777 and subsequent discussion of the captain's home simulator, so I thought it would be a good subject for this week's column.

I find it to be an enjoyable and interesting hobby. I later took up home flight simulation at the suggestion of an airline captain friend who was a 'simmer' himself. I took lessons years ago but didn't finish my license due to time restraints. Though I love airplanes and aviation, I am not a licensed pilot.

I flew it in Las Vegas through Airline Captain for a Day.

It's a full-motion Boeing 737-800 flight simulator. Is that an actual plane you are flying?ДЄ. There is an ever-growing list of scenery representing major landmarks and popular cities. The flying area encompasses planet Earth with varying degrees of detail and includes over 24,000 airports. On your Facebook page there is a picture of you at the controls of what looks to be a large airplane. Microsoft Flight Simulator has a wide selection of upgrades and add-ons, both free and commercial, official and fan-made.
