Cessna 172 Flight Simulator X
Welcome to my general aviation simulator using FSX. This simulator focuses on interactivity with multiple screens. I decided to not us VR or head tracking since flying requires a lot of looking down at various panels and screens. I used basic camera shifts to allow to see to the side / up and down and using a toggle mode it feels like you are imersed.
NEW ADDITION: Since the video was created I attached the G27 steering wheel and am using it as a trim wheel !. It actually feels very realistic.
Gear (Estimated $ 1,890.00 USD)
