Re: Navy test pilot you have to see

It is a flight sim thing. A friend sent it to me about a year ago. He thought it was real. You can see videos from the same simulator all over U-tube.

If you look at it closely you will see that it is the same background as the other sims and also that the vectors are all wrong. At one point the vectors would have pushed it nose-first right into the deck.

El-cheapo flight sims are notoriously short on including effects of things like mass, stability, and inertia. They are mostly about manipulating images and scenery.

Wish I COULD find a simulator that would provide good instrument practice that didn't cost a lot more than I am willing to pay for just playing around.

Flight Sim recommendation...
Look at Fly-It simulators. Maybe still more shekels than you want to pay, but fundamentally good equipment.
I helped with the certification.
