Having a realistic flight simulator at home is now very easy and relatively inexpensive to achieve. You can re-create a variety of realistic situations in almost any aircraft. Airports and scenery available cover almost the entire globe and are available in almost life like detail. Simulating the challenge and difficulty of aviation has been made possible by advances in home computer technology and the software to run on it.
Setting up the best flight simulator you can afford is a great way to discover what flying a modern aircraft is really like. The options for achieving this are endless, some people will go to great lengths in re-creating a life like cockpit in thier garage or if working to a budget, adding some flight simulator hardware to your desktop PC will still give you a sense of what flying is really like.
Setting up a home based flight simulator can seem a daunting task at first, you need to consider how to run your PC effectively especially if using additional software alongside the simulator. You will also need to gain an understanding in aeronautics if you are unfamiliar with flying aircraft. Although the learning curve can seem steep, the rewards for achieving something like this are immense and well worth while.
If you are at the stage where you have a good understanding of aircraft systems and are able to successfuly navigate the aircraft, consider adding some extra realism to the simulator setup. This can be achieved by adding more in-depth aircraft, weather effects that are both live and have more effect on the aircraft. You can also add extra scenery packages which will give more visual in-depth detail.
One of the most challenging aspects to recreate on your home simulator is an ILS approach. You can re-reate an ILS quite easily on a home based PC, however you would need some charts and approach plates to carry this procedure out correctly. Successfully carrying out an ILS approach is one of the most challenging aspects of aviation and is great fun to do on a home simulator.
If you add to this sever weather then you are really simulating the most difficult part of any airline flight (excluding in-flight emergencies). Carrying out a successful instrument approach in difficult weather on your home simulator is now very realistic, challenging and rewarding.
