March 30, 201214 yr Just wanted to share with you: I booked a full motion 737 sim session for next week. Just the fact that I have over 300 hours on the PMDG 737NGX gave them enough confidence to let me fly without instructor!!Just a short briefing to get used to the yoke and pedal pressure and a real cockpit should be enough, they stated.The only thing I worry about now is that I don't like to fly the PMDG anymore after the full motion sim experience.. Keep you posted. Ed van de Vijver http://SeeBee-Creations.com
March 30, 201214 yr Ask them do do a V1 cut at high gross weight in hot temps and as wee to do an IMC approach on manual reversion. That should provide some entertinment for you! Have fun in the I'm!JackZcolwill

March 31, 201214 yr Lol. Well whatever you do I am sure you will have a blast. I still find the sim doesnt "feel" like the real thing but it works.JackColwill
March 31, 201214 yr Where are these sims located in the U.S.? I currently am nowhere near being able to afford it, but maybe one day.... Dave Wegner - Don't be afraid of common sense or the search function.
March 31, 201214 yr Author I don't know about the US, but the costs over here (Netherlands) are quite reasonable I pay for a one hour session (simtime) 209 Euro Ed van de Vijver http://SeeBee-Creations.com
March 31, 201214 yr I don't know about the US, but the costs over here (Netherlands) are quite reasonable I pay for a one hour session (simtime) 209 EuroWell anyone living in the US, specifically in California can fly a 737 simulator for the cost of a intro flight on a cessna! http://www.flightdec.../boeing737.html30 Minute Flight $8960 Minute Flight $14990 Minute Flight $199I don't think its full motion, most likely not but its still a sweet deal...at least I think. I'm planning to go once I know how to fly the NGX good enough. Either way this should be good info as I thought there was no simulators in the US that would actually be open to the public AND close by. If you of any others in California, let me know. - Raul Ramirez

March 31, 201214 yr Author ...........I don't think its full motion, most likely not but its still a sweet deal...at least I think.According to the FAQ of this site no full motion: Do the simulators move?Answer: Like most military simulators, ours are stationary because it's not possible to replicate the G- forces a pilot pulls during a typical mission.Poor excuse in my opinion Ed van de Vijver http://SeeBee-Creations.com
March 31, 201214 yr I think that is fantastic that PMDG's rep carries that much clout. I'd love to hear about your comparisions between the real life motion simulator vs the NGX after your session is over. Milton Kuser - KDFW

On the contrary: You'll appreciate you're NGX more! At least I did... ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
