BFC REDBIRD FMX Flight Simulator

[@fuelks]

My left ear enjoyed this video

[@JordanXavierFournier]

Haha 😄

Except for the motion simulation part of the package which is probably the most expensive in terms of production costs, anyone these days that wants to spend anywhere from 400$ to 30,000$ on external simulator hardware (depending on what type of cockpit) can quickly build themselves a very realistic simulator to practice with. The Redbird FMX units run on the Flight Simulator X (10) software which can be bought for 30$. Your cost for a simulator session are a little steep IMO.

I like it because you don't have to worry about the crappy weather and instructors just racking up hours on your credit card.

Now I know what I want for Christmas!

The Redbird Simulator does make a lot of sense, especially when you have an IFR rating and you need to meet the recency requirements for IFR. You are required to have done 6 hours and 6 approaches within 6 months of your next IFR flight. It doesn't sound like much, but that is a lot of flying for a GA IFR pilot to stay current. Using the simulator to log your official ground "instrument time" is therefore cost effective. You can make IMC conditions to the maximize your time at night, in cloud, in fog, in haze, in smoke, etc. You can also add a critical failure and see how you would react. Better to do the failure in a simulator rather than experience it in the real world I think. Keep the blue side up.

Just used it today, it is FSX, very fun.

[@kfarandys]

is that FSX? cause i see a little red box at the bottom left

[@sgabriel]

Do you guys teach coordinated flight? ;-}

[@robertlafnear4865]

Think I want one for my Man Cave... be a great way to spend my winter afternoons........ so how much ?

[@JLangevin]

Amazing that this is all built off of Microsoft Flight Sim 10.

[@yair1956]

Nice, I like the monitor setup, wonder if it's VC configuration ??

[@Pwnzistor]

Amazing simulator..

[@BlueMax333]

no Radio Communication?!

[@caralhoporra36]

Pouco realista pelo valor!

[@JockoFlocko]

Do you guys offer package deals say for example the maximum allowed hours in the simulator? The price of aviation fuel is outrageous these days, allowing students to log hours in a simulator is an outstanding accommodation to the regulations. Btw, just so you know, The Brampton Airport has been faithfully recreated by the "Flight Ontario" development team. They have re-created CNC3 perfectly along with numerous other Southern Ontario small regional airports for use in Flight Simulator X.

hi mate..im now Ifr and having problem for flight level c172 on redbird mcx..yeah it's heavy..i adjust trim but yeah it still hard to maintain altitude..any solution mate?

[@mrlozano]

This is so cool! I've always wished there was a system like this to buy for home use, but for dog fight simulation, TOP GUN style. Is there one and I just don't kno about it yet? If so pls share info here! TY!

Oops, I thought you were the video poster responding to my comment, sorry about that sir, please disregard. Hopefully anyone familiar with CNC3's current operations can answer my question.

[@mattloretan1]

are there any in Australia?

[@kasteman1]

Does the machine produce g-force? Something gyroscopic? Or doesn't it?

[@gabriel2870]

no

[@UddhavL]

That's FSX!

[@thecessnaflyer6754]

Damn I get better frame rate on my computer

[@dariosouza5104]

Does anyone know what software is running inside those machines, if it's FSX, X-Plane or even modified version of licensed FSX or proprietary?

[@naijapilotxmax6006]

Bro is there a registered version of fsx used by flight school alone? Thanks

[@masterman3178]

i know right i pay $150 an hour in a real plane, my school has this model flight sim as well and its actually more expensive to fly in the sim.

[@darlangun21]

FS 4ever

[@737pilot7]

$210/hr in a 172? Are these 172's 2013 models lol?....that's ridiculous

[@shanebrown1935]

Exactly 172s where I am are only 140 hr

[@robertknox704]

@@shanebrown1935 Did you guys forget about the $90/hour instructor?

[@benjay2985]

Lol.. little bit of a crosswind?? The windsock was full neutral not moving.

[@thecessnaflyer6754]

standard excuse

[@BoeingAirbusGuy]

This is fsx

[@Seven-Vials-W]

Is that so?! huh. Actually, it’s not really that much cheaper than the real thing. $140 vs. $210. just for flight sim and motion etc. for 50K it’s not really that impressive for me
