Cessna 172 Flight Simulator

This site shows the progress I make in building my own Flight Simulator. The simulator should eventualy simulate flying a Cessna 172 as real as possible. Meanwhile I use the simulator as a flight training device to train for my private pilot license course.

Winter; time for indoor hobbies again

I have made no upgrades to the sim last summer. Havn't used it that much either. Last two weeks I have picked it up and used it to train for lessons again. I actualy forgot how good it works and how realistic it is to train VFR flights. I simulated an overland from EHLE to EHHO. I made a flight plan and I putted the wind direction and force into FS2004. My real life flightplan worked exactly up to the minute in the sim! VFR navigating by water, cities, forrest bodies and highways worked as easy as in real life. Last week we trained Basic Instrument Flying with the VOR so I have ordered the Simkits VOR for the simulator. Next week I should be able to train with the VOR too. I have also ordered the flap selector. Things should be delivered early this week so I will post new pictures soon.
