Mer realistisk FS opplevelse?

How to make Virtual Airline Flying more realistic

• Show up one hour prior to take-off for a :30 minute flight.

• Empty all your pockets of metal as you go through the door to your PC. For extra credit, have your teenage offspring search your flightcase, shoes, wallet.

• Take the one-page flightplan you generated for your flight, get all 8.5 x 11 inch papers from your waste-basket, mix them up and spend ten minutes looking for the critical page, then spill coffee on it.

• Put seatbelt/shoulder harness on your office chair. For that extra GOOD MORNING feeling sit on the buckle.

• If you’re flying out of Grand Forks, ND in January, turn your house air conditioning full till it is about 10 degrees F. Then, when (if) you get the APU running turn the heat on.

• Once you get ready to fly, get up, go outside and do a complete walk-around of your house, rain, snow or shine, in a $300 suit.

• Wear a white shirt with a fresh coffee stain. A tie is a must (no clip-on)

• Eat a half-cooked TV dinner while flying.

• Try explaining the concept of “sterile cockpit” to your SO (significant other).

• If your pet comes to visit, explain the instruments to it. Ask it if it likes ‘Gladiator’ Movies

• Never accelerate the sim clock no matter how boring the ocean or Nebraska is.

• When flying at night, turn off the lights. If flying into a dawn or sunset, shine a 120 watt bulb into your face.

• If your SO complains, do informational picketing, then “walk” if that doesn’t work.

• If you fly with a co-pilot, determine who’s senior and dump the radios, walk-around and second meal choice on the junior crewmember.

• If your co-pilot leaves the flightdeck and you’re above FL350, place a mask over your nose/mouth till they return.

• If your flying a new Boeing, throw a blanket with fuzzy surface on your chair. This should leave lint on your clothes like real Boeing flight deck seatcovers do.

• If you fly a “Glass cockpit” a/c, type at least 40 wpm. (old steam gauge pilot’s joke).

• Find the lumpiest bed in your house, pretend it is a hotel and sleep for EXACTLY 8 hours before the alarm.

Enjoy your Sim Session

 

 

Er det forresten noe som svever her?

Og med en liten flaske air-cologne blir det nesten fullkomment. :grin: Bildet du viste fikk meg mer til å svimle enn å sveve, kanskje jeg gikk glipp av noe. :blush:

Trodde du var ute og testet den nye cockpitten Geir med ekte sjøluft?

Henter den på Os 23. juli. Da går det strake veien sydover.
