I was reading this months ( June , 2005 ) Flying Magazine, and realized that there was the 2nd Article about Flight Simulators this year. I had sent a letter to the editor after the first article, and the author, Flight Instructor Jay Hopkins, quoted what I said in my letter in this article. He states that after writing the first article on home flight sims like MSFS, he received more mail on the article than any other article that he has written. Many of the letters he received were from pilots ranging in experience from ATP's and Instructors to student pilots. The vast majority of these letters, praised the value of home simulators for pilots. Many stories of pilots both private and professional, using MSFS the night before a check ride, to brush up on approaches were contained in this article. A large number of positive comments on home flight sims are quoted all through the article. I have been a Flying Magazine reader since the mid 70's and I view that magazine as the top in our world of Flying and the world of Pilots. It was nice to see that we simulator pilots were recognized by Flying, and by the rest of the flying community.
