Flight Simulator sites

Flight Simulator X World has announced the first of a series of flash-based Flight Simulator tutorials:

“In an effort to differentiate Flight Simulator X World amongst the other FS sites, I hit upon the idea of featuring tutorials for those of us that are not familiar with, for example, installing aircraft, loading repaints, or using ILS.

I know that when I started simming, this kind of information was difficult to track down, usually in the bowels of some folder in a forum; even then, the information was sketchy and difficult to follow. Forget about having someone actually SHOW you how to do what you wanted.

So I hit upon the idea of tutorials…for the rest of us. Actual-sized demonstrations, on a step-by-step, easy to follow basis. There are many newbies out there that don’t know how to do many things that would add to their enjoyment of the simulation (such as repainting a plane), and encourage growth in the community. Heck, there are many things that even I don’t know how to do (but will learn)!

Today I uploaded my first tutorial, that’ll I’ll call my “beta” version, and I’d like you to try it, and let me know your thoughts, both good and….constructive (!). It’s Flash-based, so it starts up quickly, and has pause and start buttons. It’s for repainting the standard 747 in FSX.

If you go to this forum posting you’ll see the link to the Flash tutorial. Please leave comments in that forum.”
