Hello good MSFS people. My Mother in Law who lives in our house, has Dementia, and will never be able to visit her home State of Maine again. She has not been there in over 15 years. During my Xmas break, one night I am moving my PC to the living room, and plugging into our LG OLED 54" screen. I am then going to Start in Maine, her hometown’s airport, on the runway and fly all around town. 1000 feet above shows it pretty good. Many towns up and down the coast of Maine she visited in her years past, and now we will take her back. My wife certainly will be on for the ride. I plan to use only the small Cessna, and mostly use the external view, to keep the motion dizziness to a minimum. Both her and my wife hear me talk about MSFS for years, but neither have ever looked at the screen. I am sure it will be an experience for them both. Any advice, ideas to make this one time flight the best I can??? As Always, thank you in advance!!
Leave the aircraft on the ground and use the drone for low and slow.
That’s a neat idea, I like it. I’d do a dry run when it’s set up in the living room before you sit everyone down to iron out technical difficulties, and/or record a video screen capture ahead of time in case you have hardware issues.
Try with the autopilot on and something like the Mobile Companion App so you can minimize how much you have to focus on flying.
What a great idea I hope she enjoy it
Prepare with a flight plan, including waypoints, POIs etc, so you do not miss anything. Maybe the Icon A5 seaplane for low and slow, and maybe some water landings. Cheers.
Put a VR headset on her and you fly from the monitor screen
Similar to what FrankPilot1530 has said.
Prepare a flight plan with waypoints, use slow Icon A5 so you have a good and stutter free PC performance.
Also, clear weather, daytime, use autopilot, do a dry run, look at free add on scenery for the areas on your flight plan, use something like LittleNavMap so that you can give a running commentary on the places you are currently flying over (population, major points of interest etc), decent speakers, background music (??), plenty of tea and biscuits!
Have a great time.
Enjoy it! We just lost my wife’s mom a few weeks ago.
