PMDG just released their 737-700 plane for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. It has incredible fidelity, including a nearly fully functional FMC. Some real world 737 pilots have released reviews on YouTube in the last couple of days.
- Nextgrid 4y agoA long time ago when I downloaded a simulator I naively assumed it would faithfully simulate the inner workings of the plane (and even run the actual software that the real flight computers ran) - if I pull this circuit breaker, what happens? If I flip it 10 times quickly, does it mess up the network and break everything? I was rather disappointed that it just blanked the screens and they came back up instantly as soon as the power bus was re-powered. Another way to say: don't let me into any airplane's cockpit - not just because I'll crash it, but because I'll manage to break it on the ground before it even has a chance of flying.
