bjarneb Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Being a bit more than average interested in airplanes I have been using the Microsoft Flight Simulator for some years. Functions are pretty much same as on real airplanes. Since boys never grow up I took it a bit further and got myself a cockpit replica of a Boeing 737. Pretty cool to have a beer and a flight actually. Some friends who have been afraid of flying actually feel more confident after playing with it since they know more about how safe it really is Guess I need a Breitling now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XM195 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Oh my... That's great! I like flying sims too, but I use basic set throttle + joystick. Great cockpit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjarneb Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks mate. That what I started with too. Actually that was the most fun, because that is when I learned what all the [censored]s and stuff was for. Not to mention when I had my first ILS landing. Think that was the best simulator experience I ever had, because I spent so much time learning how to figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
