Where is the Best Flight Training Online – For Free
I think you will agree with me when I say that without great flight training, a flight simulator is just another video game with planes. Beyond this, it can become a frustrating experience trying to land a plane in a flight sim with zero training. When I used to search for free flight lessons, I would search youtube. The problem is that not everyone on YouTube is a great instructor, and in some of the videos it is debatable whether they even have the skills to be teaching flight maneuvers. This is why I am writing this post. I want you to be able to locate great flight training information … [Read more...] about Where is the Best Flight Training Online – For Free
The Oculus Rift Lens View of X-Plane 11

5 Top Reasons Your Flight Sim needs Rudder Pedals
I think you will agree with me when I tell you that flying a flight simulator is an amazing experience and can be a great tool for people getting their pilots licence, however are you missing out on a very important element... the rudder pedals. The problem is that most people who fly flight sims rarely get the most out of their sims. Especially those who want the most realistic flight or those who are actually using the flight sim to help them on their flight training journey. It wasn't until I started flying the real Cessna 172 that I realized what I was missing. In this post, I am going … [Read more...] about 5 Top Reasons Your Flight Sim needs Rudder Pedals
