Like the visuals in the simulator, the add-ons we have greatly affect just how realistic the simulator will be. Of course there are the scenery add-ons, but what about utilities and tools?

At Angle of Attack we use a number of add-ons that help make flying in the simulator more realistic. In this video we’d like to share several of those with you.

During the video you will get a brief overview of what we use and why. It’ll show you most of these add-ons in action, giving you a glimpse into the depth of each program.

 

Download the video transcript in different Languages. This should be easier for non-native english speaking trainees to follow along:
