 @lachlan this is actually a nice example of how the common sense of a person who doesn't play flight simulation games think they work. Someone who flies airplanes in games is used to the reversed controls! I say this as someone who has never played a flight simulator, so I may be wrong too!! @grumpygamer  @joel @lachlan I took a friend flying who did a lot of flight sims. I let him fly for a bit and he freaked out because his g-forces on his body and his brain was giving him weird signals about that the plane was doing. This is something we train for. It's 1000x worse when you're in the clouds. No matter what your body is telling you, trust you instruments. But they can fail, so we do more training about what ones to trust. @grumpygamer @joel I've had the joy of it exactly once. It was always something I really wanted to properly learn, but never been quite in the right situation to do so. @grumpygamer @joel @lachlan I'd be terrified to fly in a cloud. Sometimes they have mountains in them. @kentenmakto @joel @lachlan That's why you fly IFR and learn to read charts fly your instruments and have ATC direct you. It's not that scary. But it does take a lot of training. |
