Interactive VOR Navigation Help
- Mr Smith will be watching closely when you are navigating using VOR navigation aids. He will let you know the meaning of the different indications and instruments of your aircraft's VOR Indicator, such as the TO/FROM/OFF flag, the Omni Bearing Selector (OBS), and the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI).
- You'll get this information as you fly and change settings and of course as the instruments themselves react to your flightpath.
- He'll also describe at length the general aspects of the different elements of VOR navigation as you fly along.
(For full details of these new features, see the new main manual).
Advanced Approaches Pack Included
The following Advanced Approaches features are ready for you whenever you use the On Approach feature of FSFlyingSchool PRO 2014:
- A new feature lets you set up an approach which intersects your final approach from any angle you
choose. This was previously limited to 45 degrees.
- Begin your approach at the start of the 'Downwind' leg of the traffic pattern at any runway. Fly left or
right traffic - the choice is yours!
- Optionally set the specific altitude of your approach using MSL or now AAL (Above Airfield Level). Very
useful to quickly set 'pattern altitude'.
- Now you can specify that only the slick 'detailed' airports supplied with FSX Deluxe or FSX
Acceleration will be included in random selection.
- The Flight Plan screen includes a handy detailed diagram showing which approach types are
available to set up with FSFlyingSchool PRO 2014 at your selected runway.
- For those who like variety and challenges, the wind can now be set to a random strength and direction.
This will keep you on your toes and is a great way to fly a whole host of very different approaches in
minutes.
- Low visibility is always a challenge - now you can set it to a random distance that will automatically
vary with each new approach! Who knows what you will be facing next time?
(For full details of these new features, see the new main manual).
Voice Command Pack DELUXE Included
Your instructors will be listening for a whole new set of powerful, useful, fun voice commands that extend the basic set that came with the Voice Command Pack built into FSFlyingSchool PRO 2013. You'll get information on fuel consumption and reserves, waypoint frequencies, rate of descent to destination, the nearest airport and much more!
(For full details of these new features, see the Voice Command Pack Deluxe Manual).
Cessna 208B Caravan Detail Pack Included
If you fly a Cessna 208B you will experience a new, rich level of attention to the details of the Cessna 208B and the way it should be flown by you.
(For full details of these new features, see the Cessna 208B Detail Pack Manual).
