ProSim-AR produces a dedicated visual flight model (VFM) that can be used with ProSim737. The VFM reflects the aerodynamics and flight parameters of the real-world Boeing 737 in addition, to displaying a visual representation of the aircraft in a selected number of real-world airline liveries.
Recently, whilst on a final approach I heard a ‘twang’ followed by loss of aileron control. I knew immediately what had happened; the tensioned stainless steel string from the string potentiometer had snapped and the wire had retracted into the mechanism.
Many enthusiasts like to change the sound files that come with ProSim-TS 737 aircraft. In my simulator I use an assortment of sounds including those from ProSim, PMDG, the immersion CFM engine sound pack, and audio recordings that have been made from the real aircraft.
The user interface in the Instructor Operator Station (IOS) allows the user to customise several functions, in addition to enabling or disabling specific options. Whilst most of the functions are straightforward, there are several options that are unconventional and therefore, probably not clearly understood.
