Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004
Hi All,
I'm a longtime lurker here, but now I have a question I hope the group can help me with. I am working toward my instrument rating (21 hours so far), and want to use MSFS to practice (cheaply). I do fine with holding a heading, but I find it very difficult to maintain an altitude. The real plane is much much easier. I also noticed that even when the scenery flies by smoothly (when I'm in VMC!) the instruments seem to update at a slower rate. Not quite a slide show, but harder than it should be to control. I've tried fiddling with the realism and sensitivity settings to no avail. I have noticed a number of folks posting on this group use this simulator to maintain proficiency, and I was just wondering how you have it set up. FYI...I'm using the CH products USB Flight Sim yolk, and the CH USB rudder pedals. The computer seems plenty fast enough with a 256MB graphics card. Like I mentioned before, everything is very smooth except for the instruments refreshing. Thanks everyone! Steve |
