Gotta love flying
One way where flight sims could be used to accurately replicate the flying training "experience" would be set up a booking program. So before you can flash up your flight sim you have "book" your aircraft at least one week in advance.
The booking program will then generate the following response.
- the time selected is not available, the only availble time is 0700 on Sunday.
(even better would be if it was synced with your calendar so it would only offer booking times that conflict with important allready schedualed events)
When your time arrives you sit down in front of the computer and "book in"
The computer than generates one of the following responses
-the aircraft that you requested is not available due to an unservicability
- your choosen instructor is not available however the one with bad BO and halitosis is
- The wind is 1 knot ever the schools maximum permitted
- Your aircraft is late returning so you lesson will be 13 minuites long
or if you are really unlucky you will get a blue screen and the following note
XYZ flying school has ceased trading with immediate effect.
Who said flight sims were never going to be usefull in preparing students for their flying training
