Having reviewed PMDG’s 747-400 masterpiece in this current issue, we thought it would be interesting to ask a current 747-400 pilot to give us his impressions on this product. See what Captain Jon Bunting has to say about this virtual version of his ‘office’.
It may be a ‘scary’ thought, but have you ever had the urge to design your own flight sim? Well, Matthieu Laban decided to give it a try – see how he fared in his endeavours.
If the finer details of using the Autopilot effectively are sometimes a mystery to you, then help is at hand. In this issue we explore the different aspects of using this useful tool.
If you’ve wondered what ever happened to all those promised flight sims that never materialized, Tom Sutton-Taylor has a few intriguing answers for you, in a thought-provoking piece on “Lost Sims”.
