FS Does It Help
Hi
Just a quick question, when your going for an interview do any of you, use FS2004?
How does it help? Can you really get the feel for a big jet on fs2004?
Which plane do you think is really good and handles like the real thing? Links would be great!!
Thanx
Good Weekend

my friend, if youre trying to tell us that you have a sim assessment that requires the use of a sim assessment then i recommend you dispense with flight sim and hire a real sim with a qualified sim instructor. it will probably cost you 20 times more than flight sim will cost but it will probably increase the chance of passing a sim assessment 20 times as much. dont cut corners.

I think it would be fair to say that some of the better add-ons for FS2004 can be useful for learning cockpit layout and the position of switches etc but as far as being realistic in the handling department you can forget it.

I feel that Flight Simulation has a lot to offer at the ab-initio level.
It can (without the visual elements) improve your instrument scan, allow better tracking of course, improve procedural techniques etc. and thus save you money in licence validations by reducing aircraft hours.
Do not, however, confuse a piece of software with real simulation/aviation, the paths do not even intersect. When it comes to rehearsing panel setup etc, you can do just as well using pieces of paper with the buttons/switches on them.
