Ever tried PS1 matey? Check it out at
http://aerowinx.de/. It's by far the very best 744 sim ever.
Features Overview:
- Complete Autopilot / Flight Director mode logic and accurate Thrust Management System.
- Simulation of the entire 744 FMC: HOLD, VNAV, FORECAST, OFFPATH DES, FIX INFO, All INIT/REF pages, LEGS, RTE DATA, WINDS, ROUTE 1 & 2, DEP/ARR, PROGRESS, etc. All pages are fully functioning.
- IFR Training on “glass”. All EFIS symbols are being generated, e. g. Trend Vector, Energy Management Circles, Offset Route, Fix Info etc., incl. Failure Flags.
- Highly accurate aerodynamics simulation. Exact 744 pitch/power/path and fuel flow ratios etc.
- Precise and highly detailed Systems Simulations: Electrical, Hydraulics, Fire & Ice Protection, Gear & Flight Controls incl. alternate controls, Doors, EEC, IRS incl. alignment simulation and drift errors, Fuel System Management, Pneumatics, etc.
- Random or user defined malfunction scenarios.
- Fully functioning EICAS message logic with hundreds of alert, memo & status messages.
- Secondary EICAS: All Synoptics & Displays.
Video recorder/player: Training videos may be created! Text bars and sounds can be added.
- TCAS (Traffic Alert & Collision Avoidance System) with authentic Resolution & Traffic Advisories. External traffic can be simulated to demonstrate the various aural and visual TCAS alerts and system logic.
- GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System).
- The simulator can be switched to specific airline configurations. This affects engine types (GE, RR, P&W), fuel system, hydraulics and other aircraft systems, also EFIS/EICAS symbols (Cross-Bar or V-Bar Flight Director, TDZ etc.), GPWS sounds, as well as copilot call-outs.
- Weather generator: Fog, CBs, rain, windshears/microbursts, volcanic ash, ice and more.
- Flying area is the entire world (ca. 1500 runways).
- Navaid & airway world database by Swissair.
- Semi-random ATC model: Pushback, vectors, step climb & descent clearances, holdings etc. Different accents, recorded by real controllers.
- User programable ATC vectors scenarios.
- Copilot Simulations: Specific checklists & calls, recorded by 744 pilots of different airlines.
- Analysis functions: Take-off & approach profiles, and zoom-able track plotting across the world.
- Data output for external add-on programs.
- Comprehensive Operations Manual (English, 350 pages, robust glossy paper in sturdy wire binding).
