XBOX 360 RC HELICOPTER SIMULATOR SERIES
(oxymoron anyone?)īut, I certainly respect those that want to pretend harder. 1-16 of 255 results for 'xbox 360 flight simulator' Flight Simulator Standard Edition Xbox Series X. I wouldn't use a stick for anything other than hot dogging. Someone go ask my pretend passengers which touchdown they would prefer. I would be floating all over the place if I didn't fly *into* the runway somewhere between 100-200 fpm. rarely ever approaching 100 feet per minute at touchdown. and rarely ever worrying about the stick.īy the way, my touchdown rate is between 20-50 feet per minute, with my highly specialized, instrument landing system. than, it's actually more *realistic* to fly airliners professionally by using instruments & technology. unless I have ALL of the rest of the cockpit equipment. It's really just more nostalgic to use a Yoke, for an airliner. In his *1959* paper John Charnley, then Superintendent of the UK Royal Aircraft Establishment's (RAE) Blind Landing Experimental Unit (BLEU), concluded a discussion of statistical results by saying that, "It is fair to claim, therefore, that not only will the automatic system land the aircraft when the weather prevents the human pilot, it also performs the operation much more precisely." Tech has gone well past yokes and sticks.Īutoland is highly accurate.

It's possible to land in zero visibility with regularity. Nowadays, on the large jets, Autopilot accounts for the vast majority of operations. So, despite the false warnings, it's not as if it's the level of difficulty that is at issue. aircraft are a cinch to fly with a controller. While it's true that a controller may feel out of place, particularly when flying an older aircraft.

The downside of crashing million dollar aircraft would be far too great for frivolity. It's not as if it's some sort of Microsoft marketing deal. since the military has been using Xbox 360 Controllers to pilot live drone aircraft, than it really cannot be all too troublesome.Īfter all, they spend billions on the aircraft, so they have definitely weighed their control device options. The woes of flying with an Xbox 360 controller are simply a myth, put forth by those that simply prefer to use something closer to the "real thing."
