Goldy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2339520,00.asp One might ask "why do we care" not knowing that FlightSim is the engine of several helicopter simulators....FlyIt being one of them.

Frasca simulators are also Microsoft based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOATFIXERGUY Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I imagine someone else will pick up the slack under a license agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin DBC Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Heh... I picked up the pedles at the flight shop and tried to make a ghetto-simulator with that program. It's actually more realistic if you put it on easy. Fun game, but not very realistic for rotory wing unless you have all the expensive cool-guy equipment.

Darren Hughes Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hopefully it'll get picked up under licence so that it wont go away completely. I've found it useful when teaching instrument procedures like holding on NDB's and stuff like that. Sometimes if a student is looking like they're gonna go over on hours, I can catch them up on the ground with a lot of the procedural stuff on flight sim so as to save them some cash.
