I have an out of town friend who is deep into Microsoft Flight Simulator with the latest and most powerful Nvidia graphic cards, processors, dual big screens and even VR. In it he flies big iron and also has installed the Mooney Ovation sim into it since he has been inside my plane on the ground and really likes it. His last flight in the Ovation Sim was a trip around Chilean airports. Has flown commercial but not in a small plane and never had the opportunity to actually handle the controls in any type of plane. So.... I took him flying when we could coordinate our schedules. Unfortunately it was a very windy and gusty day. Even at 5,500 ft it was fairly bumpy. I handed him the controls at that altitude and he did very well. Of course it was not the same experience as in the sim!! Landing was "interesting" Chris- 7 replies
