I need to get a flight simulator and a joystick. Maybe some pedals too. The last time I played a computer flight sim I was in high school. I did however fly actual planes in college (with an instructor of course).

Unless you've got an UBER fast computer, I'd hold off on Flight Sim X.

If you can afford it, the CH Products yoke and pedals is the way to go for controllers. I have the Saitek X52 which it TONS better than the MS joystick it replaced. With the nice throttle, I hand fly a lot more than I used to.

How the hell would I know? I'm just one of those sim nerds. LOL. But I have tons of questions about speeds, flaps, gear, etc etc etc.

Well you know my number. LOL

gear and flaps are good to have out prior to landing.

Without those it is generally not known as a landing.... More of a crash, then there is an investigation, maybe a few people get hurt, and you won't be flying for a while unless it was someone elses fault....

Ya. That was after those dolts messed up their plane on the previous approach at the other airport.

Worked out okay though, huh? LOL

So THAT'S what those are for.

I've been doing all my appoaches as 250 kts and just sliding to the gate.

I feel silly now.
