Learning to Fly from Your Computer
posted August 30, 2009 - 10:24amLearnig to fly is getting easier! Flight simulation on the computer has come of age. Not only has it become more sophisticated, so that you are learning real skills, but the game simulation with its various add-on and other products make it a lot of fun too.
You can start with basics - using keyboard commands to control your flight; but to really get into the spirit of things, you really should use joy-sticks at the least. Then there are other types of more advanced control tools, available on the market, as you progress.
A good simulator game will provide truly life-like features, and your experience is accordingly greatly enhanced. As you gain more experience with the controls and multitude of dials, you also gaim more confidence, and the more you want to learn and master.
You will have maps and charts. You will learn to recognize landmarks, and you will learn the skills of real pilots.

As you fly your aircraft from take-off to landing at your desired destination, the feeling is at the same time realistic and surreal. After all, you are still in the comfort of your home in front of the computer. But the excitement, and satisfaction that you get out out your achievements will bring you back again and again to try for higher levels of mastery.
