      Hahaha...they have a lot of that stuff down pretty damn good. I used MFS many years ago to go fly an actual Cessna 172. Can't remember which version, 98 maybe. Flew it quite a bit and one day saw an ad for a $35 "Introductory Flight Lesson" in the paper. Huh...I got $35. Didn't know what to expect, signed papers, waited on the instructor.
      When we went out and I saw we were heading to a 172 I started telling him what I knew as we did the walk around. Once inside I did everything but talk on the radio. Same cockpit layout, FS was pretty good. Checklist.
      Started it up, he told me where to taxi. Lined up on the runway, took off, leveled out at about 2500, then followed the river, couple loops around a mountain and back. He's watching me the whole time of course but he never touched a control. Other than which way to go he didn't have to tell me what to do. He asked more than once as we went, "are you sure you haven't done his before?" Not in real life sir.
      Feels a whole lot better and much much better vision than a screen on a PC. However, there's no reset button either. I'm lined up coming in to land and started worrying about hitting the brakes too hard. You can't simulate that feel. I said I'm going to hand it to you. He said are you sure? Doing great. About 500 feet I gave it to him, let him touch down and get us slowed a bit first, then I taxied back and parked. It was a good day.

    My son, who graduated last April, spent his first year in SUU’s Aviation Pilot Program. After a year he switched to business and is now a broker with Vanguard in North Carolina. But boy, did he love flying those Sirius’ around that beautiful area.

    Watching these videos I never cease to wonder what the original settlers must have felt finding this seemingly endless land before them,riding on horses and in covered wagons. It all appears too easy now,the awe and the wonderment dissipating through familiarity. America four hundred years ago,almost unimaginable,and yet men and women braved it all and survived,if they were lucky.

    • @lukelorusso154
      @lukelorusso154 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Short answer is yes in hover and no in cruise flight, if your friction is set properly. You can maintain level cruise flight with the cyclic control.

    Why do Americans say the letter O instead of zero?

    • @obamadontreadgood
      @obamadontreadgood 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's simple slang. A 0 (zero) looks like an O (oh) when written. O (oh) also has fewer syllables and begins with a vowel making it easier to squeeze in between other words than 0 (zero).
      Why Aussies say "zed" instead of "zee" for the letter Z.
