I finished the Student Level of Flight Sim 2002 Pro and it’s pretty c00l.
Why did I buy it? Well, since my other licence doesn’t cut it, I was told I’d have to study this one. Turns out that if I get my Private Licence then I can buy a Yoke and Pedals (about $500) and can log actual flight time on my computer!!!
But, I got the 3 CD version (Pro), it comes with extra planes and airports and stuff. I also bought a the force feedback MS joystick (it’s c0000l).
Anyways, after I finished the Student lessons I decided to go flying. What better place than over KW? I searched up Waterloo Wellington airport and (check this) got the actual Weather conditions that existed here!!!!! Can you believe that? I was flying over KW…right now!!!
Anyways, they say that they have the terrain and buildings that exist in the world and they’re not kidding. I was able to identify a few things on the ground but since it was night I was only able to tell that I was flying over Highway 86. I’m pretty sure that when I have time I’ll fly over UW and have a look see but when I have the time (I can already fly with instruments 🙂
Ok, to bed now, I have a full day of Stall training and Airtraffic controllers to chat with (on the landing approach I requested landing when I was 10 minutes away and they said ok, then when I was close to the airport they confirmed me again 😀
