Beginner's Introduction to Flight Simulator School

COMPUTER PILOT ACADEMIY
|
 |
Let's build a flight simulator that matches the plane you want to ride!
You apply for the pilot to explain the condition and help you to select a suitable simulation software.
If you are a beginner, we recommend that you select the software that contains a small reciprocating aircraft.
Small reciprocating aircraft in steady practice, I will improve fast track less frustration.
You can also change the hardware(Joystick, and other peripherals) of the pilot aims to provide the genre.
To avoid wasted investment, please consider your vision for your future.
1.1.Preparation 1?（Software Guide）
[Pilot genre are you trying do?]
| Genre | Applications | Typical models | Type | |
| Private pilot or Airline Pilot |
Private | Reciprocating | Cessna | A |
| Jet | Learjet | |||
| Airline | Reciprocating | YS11 | B | |
| Jet | B747 | |||
| Military aircraft | Fighter | Reciprocating | P-47D | C-1 |
| Jet | F16 | C-2 | ||
| Bomber | Reciprocating | B17 | B | |
| Jet | B52 | |||

[Sectoral pilot Recommended Software]
| Type | Pilot Conditions | Recommended Software |
| A | The pilot of the private plane feel like a tourist feel immersed. Enjoy more than enough to gain the basic training academy everyone. I myself live in cities abroad and enjoy the sights and night flying in the sky but no view. |
This is a private pilot. Choose your software is replete with beautiful scenery. Microsoft Flight Simulator software, and we recommend that you start. |
| B | The Airline Pilot. You need to learn other firm IFR navigation and basic training. The pilot thought for a pattern of behavior must take top priority the safety of the crew, and attitude necessary to prevent mistakes in the operation of the check. Moreover, it is necessary toward your destination thoroughly mixing the flight plan. The precise nature of aptitude will. Airline Simulator particularly to enjoy, please consider the use of time without getting tired a long sail. Airline who wish to experience full-scale simulator, now also has a rich assortment of peripheral devices close to the real machine, you can build a simulator of a genuine intention. But please be prepared for considerable investment cost. |
In the future, if you want to build a full-scale simulator, Microsoft Flight
Simulator, such as.
Military aircraft (bombers), the first for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a small reciprocating machines (such as the Beechcraft) and in basic training, B-17 Flying Fortress is recommended that you buy a SIM and the Second World War. In addition, jet bombers get on very little software on a large jet bombers will be about the X-Plen.(No mission can not be bombed) |
| C-1 | The reciprocating fighter pilot. Fighter pilot requirements for reciprocating.
|
Combat simulator software and the selection is set in World War II, essentially. The arcade mode presented here is not like shooting games, the selection of simulation software in mind that the actual combat. A typical software recommended "IL-1946 2" or "Combat Flight Simulator 3" is. |
| C-2 | The jet fighter pilot. In addition to understanding the elements of a fighter pilot avionics reciprocating should be able to operate. Is very complicated and require a high level. |
Truth of the military flight simulator would require considerable time
and patience never progress wrought. FALCON 4.0 ALLIED FORCE is still recommended it. This is a faithful simulation of real authentic. Shooting game you just do it again,PS2 or X-BOX and I think it wise to be entertained by more investment. |

[Recommended software and basic training in the school]
Ｍｉｃｒｏｓｏｆｔ flight simulatorＸ
Private and commercial aircraft, reciprocating, regardless of your jet
flight training.
If you are a beginner, in military aircraft dogfights, and now feel I want
to know that the attack mission, Flight Simulator X please basic training,
and haste, Haste makes waste.
In addition, this software is sold by various manufacturers also thrilled
that mission is also very well connected to add-on scenery.
However, from elementary to start with your really a military simulator,
and if it wants to join the mission as soon as possible "Microsoft
Combat Flight Simulator"" and ""UBISOFT IL2 1946"
is recommended.
These soft in World War II Combat Simulator to attract fans of the world's
military aircraft have the highest level of reciprocity.
WEB This will allow even beginners can try immediately after the mission
pilot training base.
If you are a genuine intention for the actual experience can be a cheaper
60 years ago is very attractive.
However, the real mode of operation, fire training and experience are required
difficult.
1.2.Preparation 2 (Hardware Guide)
[Make a special cockpit!]
Aimed at the pilot decided the aircraft's own (PC simulator) must be produced.
This ｇuide, PCs and peripherals selected "MY cockpit" The purpose
is to build.
If no PC simulator, if you need performance improvement, according to the
investment cost required for each performance and taste.
Let the production of MY cockpit thinking (the level of hobby, investment-effective,
space) ways to enjoy yourself.
PC performance, especially if the fine is satisfied at minimum specs on
the market.
But, If you think in earnest as a hobby, collecting favorite part, "PC-only
flight simulator"is recommended to make your own.
[PC performance]
Flight simulator software, aerodynamics calculations, texture and display
CPU, memory load (especially high quality and display) is very large.
Selection of PC, Fig-1.2.1 The performance "Recommend" buy more,
I think even fewer restrictions and you'll enjoy making trouble.
Current PC If you have a Fig-1.2.1 The "Minimum" even if is satisfied,
if a large memory-resident software applications that are already installed,
you may not operate smoothly software simulator.
Will be consuming memory that is particularly anti-virus software installed,
please consider adding memory.
| a. | Check the spec PC performance, "Control Panel" → "Performance and Maintenance" → "to display the basic information of the computer" → "General" and we selected, CPU speed, display the memoryMasu, so please note. Also, if your PC with a graphics board is "basic computer to display information" → "Hardware" → "Device Manager" → "Display adapters" in the GPU (graphics for the CPU's) of type, memory capacity can be confirmed. I note down GPU performance is also important. |
|
| b. | PC flight simulator is not suitable for laptops for the following reason. | |
| * | CPU performance is limited. | |
| * | Have limited memory expansion. | |
| * | Built-in graphics boards have limitations on performance. | |
| * | Liquid crystal display (LCD) has a limit on the size, and not choose freely. | |
| * | The portable laptop connected to a number of USB peripherals are not prepared. | |
Therefore, we strongly recommend that desktop PC is built.

will follow it to detect the movement of his head in the infrared. Controlstick with the views of the HAT switch to switch freely from the system. You will see that the visibility and get started. The game can also be used other than a flight simulator. We recommend that you use all means. However, the software must be confirmed because there is limited. |
