The
AER Mission Statement
The computer aviation simulation community is a very unique
collection of individuals, developers and major corporations with a single
goal: Provide the means for those with a love for aviation to experience on
the computer a virtual representation of the wonders of flight, be it in an
engineless sailplane, the smallest of trainers, blazingly fast corporate jets,
the wonders that are helicopters, or the massive airliners and military airlift
craft capable of moving small city's and their infrastructure around the globe.
Our goal at the AVSIM Educational Resource is to provide a medium for those
within this community that have tutorials, technological documentation, aviation
related web portals, small software products and any other freely available
educational resources. We will bring these diverse knowledge providers together
so that anyone wanting to get started in this wonderful hobby, expand their
current skills, or push the very limits of what is thought possible can go
to a single source for answers, information, research sources, data portals
and much more. From there, the rest is up to the computer pilot.
Not only has Jim written his own tutorial on how to use Paint Shop Pro to paint your aircraft, he has also collected some very good tutorials from other authors on his site. If you want to start painting your own aircraft, this is the place to start !
While programs allowing simulator pilots to use actual weather conditions have been around for years, the use of real-time weather has only come into its own with the release of Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2000 and Terminal Reality's Fly! For the first time, the use of actual weather conditions is expected to be the norm, not the exception. On Chuck Boudreaux's site you can learn just about everything there is to know about aviation weather. And every flight should start with a visit to the Met Office, right !?
An ever growing collection of VFR flights (visual flight rules), including screenshots of the scenery, flight plans to download and additional information on the scenery and aircraft used. Often also includes link to information on the area, and sometimes even actual pcitures. If you need ideas on where to fly, or are interested in learning about different regions of our world, check here often.
Pilot's Assistant is a toolset to support flight planning (including fairly realistic fuel planning), navigating, and carrying out common flying manoeuvres. It contains fuel/performance data for several popular aircraft, and is intended to be a useful learning and reference aid for several aspects of simulated flying.
Hello and welcome to the Virtual Pilots Course. Geoff is a United Kingdom Pilot's Licence Holder. On his site he will teach you in simple terms how to fly a light aircraft. He then moves you on to flying an airliner in the Virtual World. The course includes teaching you Basic Air Law and the Procedure Requirements that pilots need to know. The course will add the bits the manuals left out, and expand on what has already been written.
More partners will be added soon, check back often
Test your flightsimming skills with challenging flights, departures and landings. Face a wide variety of weather and navigation challenges. Pilot routine or historical flights, special-purpose or rescue flights. Fly all kinds of aircraft, from Cessna to Mach 3 spy planes, over all continents and oceans, and in steep mountains. Suffer occasional emergencies, failures, diversions, missed approaches, etc. In other words; experience flying adventures !!
