Your seat will never move but the flight dynamics of the plane are close to the real thing and good for practice.Ī real plane is not flown with a keyboard. There are other simulators out there (X plane) that have the ability to make very real simulations. I have not flown an SR22 yet but I would imagine they dont handle like they do in that sim. While the sim has basic pitch up and down, bank and roll functions it does not feel anything like flying a real plane.

GOOGLE EARTH PRO FLIGHT SIMULATOR FULL

There are full moving sims out there for pros but in the home market, unless you are this guy you are only going to get so much realism. There are lots of issues with home based simulators and realism. The flight dynamics in Google Earth are not what they would be in a real plane and I would never expect that. I am a pilot and a big fan of simulators as they are a great tool but they are just that, a tool. But keep in mind that google most like had a few people make this as a fun little addition to google earth I don't think its intended to be a realistic simulator. Google Earth is nothing like any of them in almost any respect.Īs mentioned in the other answer the first main gaps are the HUD which an SR22 does not have to my knowledge and the flight dynamics which don't seem real.

I've done the same in a glider, and I have done some take-offs and landings in a fairly amazing full (though static) commercial 737 simulator with full cockpit reproduction (all seats, panels, motorised levers, switches etc that you'd find in a real 737 cockpit, wired to a large rack of computers). I'm not a pilot, I have sat in the pilot's seat of a small Cessna and manipulated the control-column and rudder to make a few turns and attempt to maintain speed and altitude under the direction of a pilot. It's hard to really feel oriented in a simulator when your sense of balance and peripheral vision tell you you are sitting upright at your desk, not inverted and spinning towards the ground. In Google Earth you don't hear any engine, you dont feel any vibration, you don't feel any turbulence, you don't feel anything in an uncoordinated turn or when pulling out of a dive, you don't feel the unevenness of a runway. Moving a throttle lever is completely different to pressing PgUp and PgDn buttons to move a throttle position in increments Feel Moving a mouse involves completely different muscles and different motions. With a control column you have a much different sense of the position of the controls.

Waving a mouse around is nothing like moving a control column around. In Google Earth you don't have anything like the range of controls that have to be used, where are all the switches, knobs and other dohickeys you find in the real SR22? Also in a real SR22, there is important stuff to look at below the windows.

GOOGLE EARTH PRO FLIGHT SIMULATOR WINDOWS

I'm pretty sure the SR22 cockpit windows would take up a much greater area of my vision than my computer screen does. Here's a few dissimilarities that occur to me. It would be easy to focus solely on the last of these, but from my perspective this is not really the most important. aeronautical characteristics of aircraft.effects of wind, weather, turbulence, rain, ice.mode of operation of pilot aids like autopilot, autothrottle.I believe there are a number of important ways you can measure realism from a pilot's perspective: How realistic is Google Earth Flight Simulator? The support for taking off from a real airport is rather limited, but it's there. Interestingly, Google Earth allows you to fly beneath the surface of oceans, and it flies exactly the same as in the air. Quite unstable (aileron always moves by itself). Max vertical speed: 155 knots (287.06 km/h).Max speed while falling down: 550 knots (1018.6 km/h).Max altitude (from highset starting point): 60000+ ft (18288+ m).When I'm very high, it's difficult to get control of the aileron. Flies rather stable, I can do some aggressive maneuvers without any problems.Max speed while falling down: 1450 knots (2685.4 km/h).Max altitude (starting from the highest google earth let me start): 80000 ft (24384 m).Max altitude (starting from ground): 46200 ft (14081.8 m).I included some stuff I personally tried. Sometimes I like to fly a bit in flight simulator in Google Earth (not the Pro version), and I was wondering how realistic it is.
