Wyatt 0 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hi I have been looking at the Instrument Refresher Simulator, and want to know how you guys feel about it. Do you like it? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I like the look of it, not so sure of the price! Is it something you were considering to help wit RW flying or flight simulation? Link to post Share on other sites
Wyatt 0 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm considering it for flight sim right now, but I want to learn IFR procedures better than just the basics. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 What and where is it - no link... John Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Heres one link, also has a demo. http://www.asa2fly.com/Instrument-Refresher-An-IPC-Simulator--P478_product1.aspx Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 There's also a 'trainer' version which appears geared more towards ab-initio IFR pilots, and takes you through to test standards, rather than being just a refresher. You can find it from the link Brett posted above. Both products have a demo, so you can try them out first. The only caution is that since they are RW training tools, you will pay RW prices. Don't expect fancy FS-style graphics. I don't have experience with either program, although I have used other RW IFR sims. Link to post Share on other sites
Wyatt 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hmmm... Thank you, the other FS i was looking at is Pro Flight simulator. It looks very interesting and has a reasonable price. http://www.proflightsimulator.com/ Link to post Share on other sites

It looks very interesting and has a reasonable price. http://www.proflightsimulator.com/ I have heard that this is a ripoff of a freeware program(FlightGear) and has been talked about on other forums. Here is one http://www.squidoo.com/pro-flight-simulator-scam It is up to you to decide for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Don't go near Pro Flight with a barge pole. Link to post Share on other sites

aeromax 10 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 ProFlight.....the most realistic FlightSim Ever ? Well, who believes it. What a crap.... Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Fly a DME arc and you earn my gold seal of approval As for sims...I may ruffle feathers here but in terms of quality and accuracy, FSX is the best (using certain aircraft anyway). X-plane is often held up but it's a bit of a joke in terms of simulating airframe stress and manuverability. Link to post Share on other sites
Wyatt 0 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Have you guys tried FSFlightSchool2011? Here is a link http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=2894&sid=fd5881d640e7b082b60e039600457d5b. Such a long URL! Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Have you guys tried FSFlightSchool2011? Here is a link http://www.fspilotsh...60e039600457d5b. Such a long URL! Half-price as well. DAMMIT WYATT!! I was positive there was nothing more I wanted to spend money on for the next 6 months. It looks really good....and who can argue for $20 USD?? Not bothered about the CPM award but 2 from PC Pilot? It must be a pretty good package! Link to post Share on other sites
Wyatt 0 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just got it. It works well, although I would suggest getting the voice pack. I had a little trouble with the [ctr+shift+z] to switch flight mode and instead have to use the [ctr+shift+2] keys. As far as I know their is no way that you can program different keys for that! Over all I like it. Link to post Share on other sites
