Hi Everyone,
A big thanks to you all, what great ideas you have given me!!
Some clarifications from my side:
- I am not a pilot, but an aviation engineer having worked in the Air Force
- I have been very passionate about the aviation field, since my childhood, which still continues, and it is this craze that drives me to have a simulator.
- Currently my goal is not to make a simulator that will directly facilitate getting a pilot’s license, but instead evoke curiosity about not only how a plane flies but be able to actually see and feel what it takes to fly a plane. This could even let the young guys help to decide if this is the career that they would like to pursue. This could happen by having a simpler or crude flight simulator, but with the advent of so many games and gaming consoles, there is a need to let them get as close as possible to actual flying
- I am now planning to try other simulators that have commercial licenses, and even trying to approach Microsoft to see if they could offer a commercial license.
Hope this helps clarify some points. Please keep more ideas/discussions coming, it will help me immensely.
