I have been doing a lot of jobs, lately. Mostly animals, you know, chickens, cats, pigs, dogs, ducks... Did I forget any? Oh, yes, monkeys.
 
They have all been "Happy Animals" flights - no screeching, howling, barking, or any other upset cats on my flights. So, where's the fun, you might ask? Good point.
 
Here are some pictures parked on the apron by the tower.
 

 

 
So, why isn't this "real simming"? Beats me, I'm not even sure what that is.
 
But, I'll take a stab. :lol:
 
- A "real simmer" buys a junked B737, dumps everything but the cockpit, carts it down to his basement, and adds a half dozen screens.
- The rest of us play on a table in the bedroom while the wife watches TV in bed.
 
- A "real simmer" buys a pair of Davey Clarks, the noise reduction model, so that he can "simulate" his ATC.
- The rest of us use the cheap, Chinese-made speakers that came with the Dell.
 
- A "real simmer"'s fondest wish is that, on his next commercial flight, both pilots will suddenly die so that he can immediately stand when the stew asks, " Does anybody know how to fly an airplane?"
- The rest of us pray God that we are never in an airplane flown by a make-believe pilot. :rolleyes:
 
Best regards.

Love it haha. Very creative!

 

I'm not quite sure if it's healthy for those that hope the pilots die so they can have a hero-moment on a plane destined to crash! They might want to have that checked out

There's no such thing as a "real simmer" unless you sit in an FAA Certified Flight Simulator all day flying.

 

 

Love it :lol:

What is Real Faking anyway.

I will be spending next week in a $90 million dollar full motion sim. A perk being that flying is my job. Yet to be honest I prefer the simpler setup I have at under $9,000. The guys that run the sim know I am a sim guy and always ask after each sotware upgrade they do if the graphics are as good as my setup yet? I sadly always have to say no, and that they need to spend a few more hundred...

Very interesting Moe, Thank you sharing this info with us.

B)

Odd ain't it that millions spent on these professional training sims then the graphics in them just suck.

I think you just made Luis' point...  lol     :wink:

Because fancy graphics are not needed to train pilots in cockpit drills, type familiarisation etc.

Of course, once upon a time it was the other way around. I remember looking at some military simulators (military channel) and thinking that there was no way home computers would ever become powerful enough to match them. (at least graphically)

 

Fast forward a bit, and..........

 

I wonder what we might think of the visuals of today's Sims ten years from now. Commodore 64-land?

 

Or will we continue our accelerating fall behind the gaming state of the art?

the minute you said

i started laughing cause that is what i think every time i board a 737 or a 777    (  BUT i guess the 60 to 80 % chance that i'll probably crash the plane isnt fun haha )  :LMAO:
