<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Bill,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been using Real Flight since I started
pattern a few years ago and found it helped me, specially to learn new
sequences or at the begining of a new season. I also used it to learn the rudder
when flying inverted, hovering and torque roll very low. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I have a problem with a maneuver, (the 1 1/2
snap and 4 of 8 opposite these days) I go back to the simulator and try to
understand what is wrong. I could slow the time down and have more
time to think and analyse the control input. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have the original version and I am happy with it.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>You could also increase the wind until the plane
doesn't move and you could practice maneuver right in front of
you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use the Ultrasport as a start and modified it to
feel close to my pattern plane. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is nothing like the real practice but
the simulator could help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have fun</FONT></DIV>

size=2>Simulators never seem to be a popular subject for reasons I am not sure
off. However, I hear that Aerofly Pro with the options pack is about the best
at present for 3D and pattern flying. The options pack includes the "SMARAGD"
and a TOC "Extra" same one flown by Roland Matt.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=017355321-28072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
can't speak from experience about Aerofly but I do believe simulators are a
big help if your are entering FAI.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
