Prime time 11/7

Now that makes good sense.

 

Hey man I will be joining you out there on the 7'th as well. Little worried about the SIM myself so know your not the only one. Look forward to meeting you.

 

it wouldn't let me PM you said I have to few posts yet so I have to hit you up on here sorry but ,I have my class A permit I drove with my class B back in 2008-2009 for a local building supply company here in SC. But in Sept 2009 I went on active duty orders for the military and ended up losing my class B by not renewing it so I have some experience but having to go through the training all over again. I look forward to meeting you I will look for you my name is chris by the way I should be in between 1-3 on Monday afternoon i'm taking that long ride on the greyhound.

 

The Simulator is pretty easy so I would not worry about it. Generally there is an instructor or 2 hanging around to help out also. You will have 4 sims to do 1 is for shifting, 1 is for road signs, 1 is for manuvering, and 1 us for backing. They are not hard, I think the hardest thing for people is the double clutching and it seemed to me the only folks who had problems shifting are those eer used a clutch before.

 

Thanks Highway101 I appreciate the extra boost of confidence.

 

Really it doesn't matter. The benefit is that you've been exposed to the procedure so that when you're in a truck you can transfer the experience to the real world. I designed and worked on flight sims in the past, and while we were required to have a certain level of realism, the benefit is just that - the experience. One of the instructor pilots told me that the folks who went through sim training were 100% better at the actual flight evolutions than those who didn't have it.

 

Hey Medic I am sure you have done sims in the military. Either EST or like I did a sim for an MRAP. I don't think it should be that bad. Guess I will find out when I get there.

 

My dad still designs and implements the software for flight sims. All over the world. I think the FAA knows him by name.

 

Nothing like chasing SU-27's all day in an F-15C "testing" sim software. That'd be the real stuff... not Microcrap Flight Stimulator.
