Mach Loop - Sim video
 

Loved it. Enjoy all

The video that puts YOU inside the cockpit: Amazing footage reveals the stomach-churning life of a jet fighter pilot | Mail Online

God, I hate it when I get flipped. Soaring's good though.

Damn Daily Fail...it isn't exactly what it's like. No G forces, no odour from the onboard oxygen, and the 'series of formation flights' is sitting in the Number 2 position for about 20 seconds of straight and level on recovery to base. Soaring...A Typhoon doesn't soar, that's for gliders, it blitzes down the valleys at the speedof heat and cranks round turns and reefs over the ridges!

Having said that, it is a fun ride and worth looking into if you have a 2for1 offer or similar. Too pricey otherwise.

And here's the real thing :

I don't think the Mails' vid was a sim, just a poor copy ??

The video on the Mail website is not a sim, it is the actual video shown in the ride. I think you are confusing "flight simulator" (eg FSX, X-Plane) with "motion simulator," which is what this is, a box mounted on hydraulics with a projector screen.

I'd give up my seat inthe 380 any day for a whizz around the loop like that!! Marvellous stuff......!!!!

I hate to go [...around the corner...] because it usually throws me and my pax sideways, both on the ground and in the air. I'd rather bank and turn...when airborne at least! :E

Can't wait to return to UK to go and take a look at it, though!

DK :ok:

Captainsmiffy,

Would you give it a go in a 380? If so can I come along?

Think that my employer might take a rather dim view of that.......fun though it mit be!

......'might'....

Especially the over bank and 5g pull.....

I thought they built the wings strong at Brough these days!
