From where can i find a flight simulator game for my pc which has a Heads up display?

Question

I am applying for an airline and we have to play a flight simulator with a heads up display. I have WILCO and flight simulator x with me but hey don't have HUD. I am actually looking for a HUD in a basic aircraft.
please help.
thanks.

Answer 1

Simulator games have absolutely NO training value for pilots -

Even for "airline candidates" -

Airline training departments would use "simulator games" if they were any good -



You will be questioned about theory and practical knowledge of flying -

Just perform to your best level if you are given a simulator assessment -

HUD (if any) are never used for assessments - Fly the basic gages -



Good luck

Hi there,

I downloaded Flight Simulator X for free here: http://bit.ly/1p0vChy



Microsoft has once again proved itself to be one of the best developers by releasing Flight Simulator X. Have you ever dreamed of flying all over the world? Are you a natural born traveler? If yes, then this is the best game for you.

Answer 5

I discovered X-Plane in 1998. I started playing it, but with joystick and pedals. Then, in 2002, I discovered the European Ultralight class, similar perhaps to the American Sport Pilot license.

I started flying with an instructor to get my European Ultralight license and the first he asked me was: "Have you been flying before?" Well, I told him that I had several years flying radio controlled gliders with my son, then the X-Plane simulator experience. He said: "I see that it helps!"



The X-Plane is an excellent simulator. Contrary to the Microsoft Flight Simulator, it is a virtual air tunnel: you have to get the airfoils right to have it behaving correctly. Let me explain:



In MS FS, if you build an aircraft and enter say 60 knots as the stall speed, it will stall at that speed. In X-Plane, you will have to model the airframe, CoG, airfoils, etc. correctly. Then you fly for the first time and if the aicraft stalls at 60 knots then you are very lucky! You'll have to go again in the model, find out what is different from reality and brush it up.



Each surface is an airfoil with its lift, drag and moment. I once modelled the Russian Orlyonok, a WIG seaplane and couldn't get it out of the water. I asked Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane, and he said: put the step in the hull a tiny bit more aft. Which I did and ... the Wing In Ground seaplane took off!



But, remember, you must fly with both a joystick and pedals and learn things like, side-slipping. Flying visual is not good in a simulator but you can learn instrument procedures.



In 2002, after getting my license, I bought a Kitfox 3 light aircraft and I have been flying it ever since. I have about 850 hours on it. Been from Norway to Belgium, Germany and - best of all - north of Norway! Flying the Norwegian fjords at 2,500 ft above the water is a mind blowing experience!



Good luck with your aviation future!

Answer 6

Since you obviously didn't realize that this is the aircraft section and not a "simulator forum for Microsoft flight simulator add-ons" you would be wise to delete and find a sim forum on the web and inquire on one of those sites.

Answer 7

If you are applying for a real airline then common sense would dictate that they obviously do not want you to PLAY on a flight sim, they want you to TRAIN on one, or have some training time on one,



So it's also pretty obvious that when they say train on a flight sim they are most likely NOT talking about FSX or X-plane or some cheap $20 computer game.

Answer 8

see. there's no difference between using the HUD and using conventional instruments... short of that you see where you're flying AND your instrument readout at the same time. for understanding the principles of IFR flight, your FSX and the likes are just fine.. for training purposes, ALL of the gaming simulators are worthless.

Answer 9

I don't know. I also don't know why people who are able to use a machine to play games and connect to the internet don't Google for and join a flight sim forum, instead of asking in the real aircraft category. There are many people on the forums who will know the answers to your questions, and many have FAQ sections. You may need the sites in the future.

This is not the games category.

Answer 10

I recommend you to have a realistic simulation hardware eg. Good Joystick,gauges,monitors etc.

But I still dont agree with in terms of using Simulations in airline companies but good luck anyways...
