Hi,
I purchased RANT last Friday afternoon, 9 May and so far I have been impressed, not least because the lady said she would process the order there and then and it arrived on my doorstep in Springfield from Witney the very next morning. You can purchase an extra procedures library at a cost of £9.99. When I placed my order I discussed this library with Oddsoft and decided that I didn’t need it just yet, purely because as I don’t know what they are just yet so I need to do some training and perhaps later I will purchase that CD. The lady on the telephone thought that was a good approach; I was never pressured into buying this add-on.
Initially I set up my aircraft (C172) nav fit and the startup defaults. This was quite intuitive so no problems there. I then started with the radial intersection tutorial and found it reasonably easy to understand.
I have logged about 15 hours on the exercises and practice tool so far and have managed to crack VOR radial intersection at all angles from 30 degrees through to 90 degrees completing the anticipation and wind drift calculations in my head and of course the aircraft symbol invisible.
I am just moving on to radial intersection where there is no CDI or DME information and am stuck there with initial orientation of the aircraft with the NDB.
I am planning to undertake IMC training in the autumn and hope to have reached a theoretical level of understanding in order that I may use my time in the air for maximum value.
I would say it is a very worthwhile product.
