His flight sim is MS X, so he does too. Sensationalism at its finest.
Lots of serious pilots have these simulator set ups and practice going to new airports that they haven’t been to.
I have a friend who flies for UPS and he plays with landing and taking off from the toughest strips he can find. He says one of the toughest is in India. One end of the strip is a cliff and the other is a mountainside.
There’s so much ‘information’ out there that it is hard to keep track of what has been confirmed and what is hearsay. From the article, it states that it was a ‘home made’ flight simulator. What does that mean? Does this mean he was using commercial software on a rigged up computer system he put together, or does it mean that he had his own software? (I apologize ahead of time if this is explained somewhere, and I neglected to read it).
If it was commercial flight simulator software, is there a way to know what runways he was concentrating on when he used it?
