What else can I do with a C172?

Post by mikeglaz »

I have Prepar3D. I don't know what else to do with a C172...I know how to taxi, take-off, use IFR, GPS, follow the glide slope, land. Is there anything else to do in this game?

Go on VATSIM, fly an ILS approach in IMC, while a 747 is chasing you. That will keep most of us armchair pilots busy for a while.

Fly from Friday Harbor (KFHR) to Darrington (1S2). Virtually walk over to the IGA market deli and get a virtual piece of their excellent fried chicken. Then take off and fly down to Fall City (1WA6). Good luck getting in to that little field.

Go to YouTube and watch some of Sim CFI's stuff, then take off and do what he did (note that not all these videos are in the 172, but I think the 172 would be just fine for these maneuvers):

That last one is a reasonably challenging IFR flight.

This "game" is meant to simulate real flying, so do that :wink:

I flew around the country stopping at places I used to live, then did a 5 leg trip to Anchorage Alaska.
