I am working real hard with the RF G5 sim. I am basically working on landings - one where the aircraft could be flown again. I think I am doing real well using the Hobico Nexstar Select BP without all the stabilizer stuff. My question is how well the simulator represents real flight. I have accumalated abour 30 hours and am using the Advanced setting with some wind across the runway.
I plan to buy a Hobico Nexstar Mini this spring when the white stuff leaves and am hoping the sim is not giving me a false sense of ability.
Would appreciate any comments. Thanks
I find that my G-5 comes very close to flying the real thing on most of the planes. But NO sim can reproduce the visibility and "feel" of the plane like flying the real thing.
The
real value of a sim is to train you to be "instinctive". This means reacting to flight situations without having to first think about which stick to push, and which way to move it. Once you master instinctive flight on the sim, you will have NO trouble flying any of the good trainer type planes.
