Quick question about training for sim

Ant26587 · #1 08-30-2009, 11:47 PM

So, basically this is my first serious attempt at a flight sim, so I got an av8r joystick which has made things a little easier on sim, but still having quite a few problems.

My question is, does anyone know if in the full game there is a training option for newbies like myself going into sim thats quite robust and explains what button does what, what it's for etc etc (also where the hell have the buttons been mapped on my av8r, can't for the life of me figure out what button is for what on it at times).

Anyone know what the training is like in the fullgame compared to the demo?

The retail version will have a training mode for all 40+ aircraft. You can choose to fly them in simulator mode and choose your time of day, enemies, weather, etc.

All we know is weather, so I am guessing rain, don't know.

This game is only for consoles and handhelds, no pc.

High wind flying would be great! Then you can't represent real flying without going into crosswind landings. It looks like there's a lot of potential for different weather scenarios, but I don't know EVERYTHING. I'm not the lesser deity Baal from the early Babylonian era.

Yeah xNikex, you say something like that when we're talking about $5 content and free t-shirts, people are gonna notice.

Sounds good, it might be useful to practice with an unfamiliar plane before flying a real mission.

It will be interesting to see how far they take the weather options though.

Crosswind landings would be great.
