but rather due to the fact that a lot of the pre-flight resources have been taken out, meaning you either bring in outside knowledge, or you're stuck wondering what the hell is going on
My only Flight sim knowledge is "pull that lever thingy all the way down and then press the nose up button and the flight takes off. Fly around till you crash"
Is there no in game tutorial? How the fuck am I supposed to learn how to fly?
Okay, I've had a gander at the training modules and it isn't quite as bad as I make it out.
I haven't actually gone through the tutorials, but they've got modules for Basic handling, Take-off and landing, VFR navigation, and Airliner training (the last consisting solely of take-off and landing in an A320neo). At the very least, you should be able to learn to get up in the sky and come back down again.
There's still nothing on managing complex aircraft, navigation instruments, IFR, and all that jazz, so it's not enough to turn you into a serious simmer, but I guess it should be enough for casual flying.
Since I've been suddenly reminded where I put this (thanks, ), a quick update - actually, not so quick, 'coz it's the biggest update to the game so far. But anyway, they put in a bunch of new stuff (including a Super Hornet, which is still a lot of fun) and there's now an IFR tutorial available, as well.
