The breakthrough for me in the flight simulation field this year was getting hands-on with some large-scale simulators. Such as the real C172 modification at Anabatic Simulation in Kyoto, the A320 FBPT at JFlight in Yokohama, the 737 FBPT at LUXURY FLIGHT near Haneda, and some non-public ones. In short, it was a real eye-opener.

The simulators introduced on this blog are high quality, and the shop owners are very professional, so I highly recommend everyone give them a try. This morning, I stumbled upon some great introduction videos (in Japanese) on YouTube. They were produced by some very professional flight simulation enthusiasts (apparently working at the company that develops the “I am an Air Traffic Controller” game series). The system introductions are easier to understand, so I’m sharing them here.
