Hey y'all I recently took my ASTB and did pretty poorly on my Aqr/pfar/fofar I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on flight simulators that might help me to improve my score the next time around.
You’re going to improve your scores by studying, not by playing flight simulator. There is a great thread on here dedicated to ASTB study gouge. Find it.Hey y'all I recently took my ASTB and did pretty poorly on my Aqr/pfar/fofar I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on flight simulators that might help me to improve my score the next time around.
That may not necessarily be true. Flight sims can certainly improve the hand coordination required to operate the testing sticks.You’re going to improve your scores by studying, not by playing flight simulator. There is a great thread on here dedicated to ASTB study gouge. Find it.
that was my thought. I am of course still studying however, I figured it cant hurt. Before walking in to the room yesterday I hadn't touched a stick and Throttle in my life. I was particularly thrown by the inverted control on the stick. I also understand that I may simply not have to coordination required to get the score I need however, I plan on doing everything I can to improve the score. any idea a software that might help?That may not necessarily be true.

I’m aware of the concept of training scars and I’ve already taken that into consideration.Trying to teach yourself bad habits?
Does anyone have a legit VR flight sim setup they could advise me on? I'm starting NIFE soon and will be in primary hopefully by November. There's a T-6b package for Microsoft Flight Sim but Microsoft won't have VR support until the fall, and only on HP's new VR headset.
I've also been looking into sticks and found that the thrustmaster t600001 or whatever has good reviews. I have a line on a full warthog setup with rudders and the stands for around $500 too. Does the quality of the stick/rudder matter as much when you're doing VR? Would it be worth it to wait for Microsoft and HP to have their VR simulation in the off chance that I can use the T-6 package with it? Thanks. I'd be running all of this on PC.
Not sure if you made up your mind since then but for anyone looking for flight sim ideas before Primary I'd advise against VR at home.
TrackIR is better.
-You can bust out checklists, approach plates, and take notes with pen/paper while using it
-Less strain on the eyes; my peers who have VR have to take breaks every 30 minutes or so
-Much cheaper, I think they go for around $100
-Your computer screen has much higher resolution than a VR screen, I had trouble reading a lot of the smaller indications in VR (fuel flow, IOAT, Volts, etc)
-Honestly does everything that VR does. VR is impressive at first because of it's apparent immersion but at the end of the day its more of a theme park attraction than a training tool.
So....tell the truth now.... have you tried porn with your VR?Yeah I bought my VR setup a few months ago
