On a related note, Foreflight integrates really well with MSFS and when you combine that with PilotEdge it's a great learning tool. Works with Prepar and X-Plane too.
Yes, perfect for IFR and procedure training. The lack of control loading / feedback in home simulators makes it not a great choice for primary training. I've had to teach some simulator enthusiasts in real aircraft for primary training, there is a lot to unlearn. Especially in terms of trimming, fine gained control and looking outside.
But for IFR training if you already know how it fly it's amazing what home sims can do. Add in Navigraph to get up to date data / procedures and Jeppesen charts and you get a better real world representation than some of the certified simulators used in flight training.
Question for you both. I’m using ForeFlight in sim and real. Does Navigraph replace FF in sim or supplement it? Visited their site and it’s not immediately clear. Thanks.
Navigraph runs on the computer with the sim on it, while you can use ForeFlight on your ipad (or phone) next to the sim while connecting to it for position data.
