The following is a list of the videos provided in the PilotWorkShop’s “Getting
Started With Flight Simulation” video series, grouped by topic area. Based on the
current configuration of the Chapter 237 Flight Simulator, some of these videos are
more relevant than others. For example, most of these videos assume that you
are not using the third-party Air Manager software for the instrument panel. Our
simulator does use Air Manager.
Also, our simulator is already installed and configured for operation so the purpose
of the videos in the Hardware and Configuration topic areas has already been
accomplished. However, other videos are very relevant and useful, especially in
the ‘Sim Essentials’ and ‘Training Flights’ topic areas.
The following letter codes help to indicate the relevancy of each video for the
current configuration of our simulator and to help you decide which ones to view or
not view based on your experience and needs.
