Flying School (BETA)

>OK..this seems to basic training.>>Are they planning to have IFR training? NDB approaches,>VOR/DEM approaches, doing an IFR x-country from start to>finish, filing flight plan, getting clearences etc?>>Are these in the works?>>MannyAt present, FSFlyingSchool contains features based on filing a flight plan, ILS approaches and a whole lot more. The team are looking at several of the areas you mention and are very excited about candidates for enhancements, because essentially, if the aircraft has the instrument, FSFlyingSchool can be told to read it. This means that flight plans, SIDs, STARs, DME arcs, NDB, VOR, IFR navigation, etc are all potential components of the 'world' being shared between FSFlyingSchool and Flight Simulator.The intention is to expand on the core already present, adding more complex systems to the simulation and also introducing even greater interaction on basic systems, such as the correct use of lights and the management of fuel, loading, etc.

Hi Barry, Do you know if this program just evaluates your flying skills or does it provide instruction ( a possible replacement for Rod's FS9 flying lessons )? If it does provide instruction, how is it? Thanks, Dave

It does not use the same approach as Rod's excellent lessons; the team feel that these are an effective introduction to flying and FSFlyingSchool does not attempt to replace them. Rather, FSFlyingSchool seeks to help the pilot polish skills wherever the flight takes place - not just at the fixed locations and for the fixed reasons Rod's lessons address. The point is that the program monitors the pilot's airmanship, in general, anywhere in the world. Hope this helps - Jeff

Greg:The instructor is positively beaming with pride in his/her pilot when flying circuits, congratulating the pilot on appropriate timing and handling.:D At other times, the instructor concentrates on fast, brief comments on the pilot's technique so as not to chatter the pilot's ears off. The team has aimed for a balance between feedback and excessive chit chat.The pilot is praised in detail in his/her log book after a landing is complete, with separate evaluations of landing, overall flight and also circuit if one was flown.;)- Jeff
