THE HANDSTAND

One of the best elements in flying is seeing the world from a different perspective, especially
when seen from the cockpit. Microsoft and a host of other developers have produced software
that allows us to work on procedure while safely on the ground. Many others have produced
add-ons that help make this effort enjoyable and realistic. Some concentrate on how the plane
and ground looks, although important the sky above has been mostly ignored.

Flight1 has produced an aid to realism that makes simulator flying a really worthwhile experience.
The beauty of th

e sky and water are realistically reproduced here. Like the real sky we fly
through, this product changes as the miles below
slideby. Depending on your basic adjustments you
will have to watch the skies just like in the real
world. Weather has a habit of surprising you. The
combinations generated are almost endless. The best
part here is that it is unique for the simulator world.

Imagine this, 36,000 kinds of clouds will glide by!
Water, what an element, will react like it is supposed
to. This will especially address float plane flyers
making approaches easier to assess.

Get in your favorite plane and take a flight to the tropical zones and watch the difference,
you might not come back! Still remember you are in full control despite comments above,
you can set it to provide the kind of reality you wish.

Depending on the screen you work on, the colours will astound you. Words just cannot
explain, really.
