As I continue to develop the competition aerobatics concept for the FSX Air Sports Association (FASA), I recently tried the IAC 2013 Power Primary in the RealAir Simulations Decathlon (payware plane) in the simulated skies over Borrego Springs CA (where I volunteered at the real-world IAC36 sponsored Hammerhead Roundup last weekend).
This video is a demonstration, I am also working up tutorial videos to cover control inputs, where to look, etc. The desire is to create an environment where folks can enjoy competition style aerobatics using FSX.
As with military and commercial flying, the simulator is only one of many mechanisms that CAN be used for developing skills, and using a desktop simulation like FSX (now Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D) certainly has some limitations, several of them significant, but the quality of the base simulation, coupled with highly detailed and accurate add-ons like aircraft, weather, scenery, etc., can all, in my opinion, add to the skillset in a way that is both affordable, as well as safe and enjoyable.
Enjoy!
