Joint Ops Virtual Flight School

Post by Nightcat » Wed Jan 04, 2006 11:22 am

Figured y'all know about it already but I'm posting some of it again for the non fully fledged :FI: peeps who can't access the secret parts :-# .

Basically its a school not a squad that get they're fun from teaching people to fly, its open to everyone and offers something for the person who just got IL2 to someone whos been playing none stop since it came out.

Basic Flight School Class is based around the basics obviously but its not as basic as you will first think - I thought I knew what to expect but sadly within the first couple hours my head was swimming in info and thoughts of .. do I really need to know runway headings and where left downwind is? can't I just crash on the runway like always? anyway(small example lol) Once passed Basic Flight School you can move onto Ground school to Advanced Bombing Training (Grade1-9) - its a huge ladder to climb. Some of the instructors have alot of real experience from ex naval pilots to weekend fliers so you can guess how much is there to be learned and discussed.

I'm doing the basic flight school again in Feb (the euro evening time) incase anyone I know shows up, to enroll find the enroll page on this site... or just read up, any questions etc etc ask Frank..... no wait, ask me this time as I think I might know just a little bit more then him on this >_<

This sounds like a ton of fun NC. I just can't commit to any schedule now ...

and the skins are ugly!! ;)

I'll read up on things at the site and maybe squeeze in a lesson or two later.

Thanks again for the review and link,
