With the release of the new Microsoft Flight Simulator last year, you have a modernized option to stay current with your favorite aviation apps. We’ll first start with ForeFlight and then look at Garmin Pilot, Stratus Insight and FlyQ.
Connecting ForeFlight to your Flight Simulatorīefore using a Flight Simulator with your EFB, the tablet must be connected to WiFi on the same network as the flight simulator. We’ll then review various ways you can use these simulator programs to both maintain currency and learn new skills with a series of VFR and IFR scenarios. Before getting started, you’ll first need to ensure the EFB and flight simulator programs are set up properly. The simulators can even output real-time flight data, such as AHRS pitch and bank, allowing you to learn and experiment with the most advanced EFB features. The apps will function nearly identically as if you were in the airplane, creating a realistic in-flight experience, displaying GPS position, moving maps, synthetic vision, and other flight parameters. Many flight simulators today integrate directly with EFB apps including ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, FlyQ, and Stratus Insight. Trim can also be changed on the keyboard by pressing the 7 and 1 keys on the number pad.Are you stuck at home and separated from your airplane, or just experiencing an unlucky stretch of bad weather? The good news is, you can still fly at home and stay current with your favorite aviation apps using the latest flight simulators. On the other hand, if the plane tends to be drifting downwards you will want to do the opposite. If the plane is going upwards automatically you’ll want to press Y + up on the d-pad to balance it out. On the Xbox One controller you can change trim by pressing the Y button and up or down on the d-pad. How to Level Plane / Change Trim with controller Trim can be changed in different ways depending on which control scheme you are using.
Mastering trim will allow you to fly smoothly and actually enjoy the ride. This is because you need to add or remove trim. There are many times where you’ll notice that you might be fighting with the plane to stop climbing or descending. Trim allows you to level your plane so that you aren’t constantly needing to center, allowing you to effectively fly in a straight line while the plane is leveled. One of the most important things to get a handle on is trim. Once you’ve mastered taking off in Microsoft Flight Simulator once you get into the sky you’ll have some other things to manage as well.
