Hey all,
I have bought a P-51 pts and went ahead and bought the G3 flight sim with the interlink controller. I am asking because after a day of trial and error i have been flying for almost a week and the only crashes that i have are with the turbine powered jets(way to fast!!) I can not seem the see those and react quick enough. The mustang that is in the sim is a breeze. I even enjoy the Yak-54. Just have a hard time believing that a plane will react like that. That is why i want a opinion on the sim. I have not flown or even started the p-51 yet.
I have the P51 and also G3 And your right about the jets! but I think the monitor is too small to keep track of them, but as far as the similarity from sim to real time pretty close.
Although, always remember out there in real time there are climate changes wind directions etc. the sim is good to practice flaps uses, rudder, stick control, coming and going to and and away from you, landing and take off experience. one thing that is very different ! on the sim your knees don't shake when you take it up for the few first time
I would recommend to get an instructor to check out you plane set up, and training< Join a club and get your AMA.
Good Luck.
