To me, flight simulator is about realism and learning and lately we are getting a wonderful abundance of both. With aircraft like the PMDG 737NGX and 777 we have the wonderful opportunity to enjoy professional grade, high quality training from Angle of Attack Training http://www.flyaoamedia.com/, which I have been enjoying this fantastic video training and tutorials so much, and have for a long time. They are as entertaining as they are informative and, for me, add greatly to the flight sim experience. For general aviation, Angle of Attack has provided great resources with Aviator90 (at no cost for VFR) and Aviator Pro (for IFR) training. Now for about a year we have been graced with a highly complex, realistic and beautiful Dash8 Q400 simulation from Majestic, but up until today have not had the professional grade training that Angle of Attack has been providing for the NGX and 777. That ends today. I am extremely excited because I just purchased a set of both streaming and downloadable HD and very professional quality videos for the fabulous Majestic Q400 (also applicable to the FlyJSim X-Plane version) which have been produced by "Airliner2Sim" http://www.airline2sim.com/ I was enticed to go on the "Airliner2Sim" website by the front page adds on Avsim and my desire to learn more about the Q400. Ben, from "Airliner2Sim" says that these courses are taught by a real Q400 pilot, and I believe it. I just finished watching the first two videos. The first one is basically a question and answer session with the Q400 pilot that will be teaching. The second video covers the flight deck of the Q400, and extends the explanation to many small nuances about what the actual line pilot might experience and be thinking while setting up the switches in the real Q400. I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of the presentation of the videos, and enjoyed the first two videos so much, that I felt I really wanted to come here just post something about it. Already I have learned a bundle of new facts about setting up the Q400 cockpit, from why the gust locks are needed to why most pilots don't leave the cabin temperature select knob to FA, or flight attendant's control. Anyone who loves the Majestic Dash8 Q400 and also really enjoys well produced video training will be doing themselves a favor by checking out the new program from "Airliner2Sim". From what I've seen, I'm going to really enjoy this course. Bob
