Thanks for the responses folks. As for some of the questions. I am not a real pilot, nor will I ever have the chance to be one at this time. I have come over from and still play DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) Mainly came for the experience of flying anywhere in the World. Plus to see if I could talk some friends into flying with me.
DCS I think was a little to intimidating I think. Having said that I just don’t think any of them are interested in flight sims. That will be one of my next steps trying to find a flight sim community I guess.
I keep on imagining DCS’ planes, helicopters, air craft carrier and game play taking place within Microsoft’s digital global world, to fly in and it blows my mind, lol. Whoever can figure out how to code a game like that will be gaming heroes.
As far as apps I think I will continue with:
Sim Brief for planning longer flights.
STKP or Volanta which ever gives me a better view of place names and zoomed in Airports
Navigraph I am not sure yet I just paid for 1 month to check it out. Not sure if I am ready to pay monthly/yearly fees long-term yet. I did enjoy having it on my Ipad though. It is defiantly a Professional product.
SLC and PACX actually looks pretty cool just too add another dimension to the game. I’m not really much into the big airliners though. Can you haul say just cargo if you want to with those programs or is it worth it flying small planes like the King Air, 208B or TBM to fly passengers around in. To get to smaller airports tucked into the mountain ranges and what not?
Again, thanks for the reply folks. Maybe this will help other people new to the Sim out as well.
