Redline06 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hello all, I am new to the forums and I have a few questions. Im not sure where to post on here, I do not have a PC based simulator, I get time on the sims where I work. I am a sim tech at a training facility and we have Level D Full Flight Sims. Where do I post and am I even in the right place? Thank you and I hope to be able to get info and help from all you folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Right here is a good start! Welcome aboard:cool: My only question is....what are you planning to post about? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline06 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Well Im pretty new to sims and on down time they let me fly as much as I want in our sims, I have figured out take off and doing an ILS approach, I dont know how to set up a flight plan, or really how to operate the FMS.

mrzippy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 OK, I don't know much about a Level D Full Flight Simulator, but is it something like this? Wouldn't all of the flight plans and routes be done by a programmer at a computer who then also acts as your ATC? Search Youtube for tutorials about FMC use.

il88pp Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi. Do you mean you would like to also start using your pc at home for playing with and learning from? (And are wondering where to start with that. What game to choose, and which pc and controls like joysticks and such to chose.) --. Or do you want only info about aircraft and aircraft systems. Preferably real world info, to use with your level D motion simulator? (PS: Jealous!:D At my desk sim the only motion happens when I get up to pop some mid flight tatertots in the airfryer.:D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAviationEnthusiast Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 These forums are a good place to start to learn how to realistically use a flight sim, even a level d full motion one.

mallcott Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I guess we'll have to wait for his answers, but I guess that's what he means. He'll need to explain that. A Level D sim usually requires an additional two or three people for operation, and the cost is substantial. Heat and power alone can run to hundreds an hour - keeping the hangar lit, and the computers cool means it is not something one can `jump in and go fly`.
