What’s New in Flight Simulator 98
The best gets better with Flight Simulator 98. Here are some of the
exciting features and technological improvements you’ll find in
Flight Simulator 98.
Three New Aircraft
Your hangar of eight aircraft now includes a challenging Bell 206B
JetRanger III helicopter, the latest Cessna Skylane 182S, and the
Learjet 45. You’ll also find improved versions of Flight Simulator
veterans, including a Cessna Skylane RG, an Extra 300S, a Boeing
737-400, a Schweizer 2-32 sailplane, and a Sopwith Camel. The
flight models for these aircraft have been validated by experts,
including Cessna, Learjet, FlightSafety International, and Patty
Wagstaff. To find detailed information about each aircraft, click
Aircraft Handbooks
on the
Help
menu.
Improved Instrument Panels
New photorealistic panels put you in the pilot’s seat. Developed
from photographs of the actual cockpits, the new panels are easier to
read and feature more sophisticated avionics, autopilots, and other
systems. The panels scale automatically to match your screen
resolution, and on many panels you can display radios, detailed
engine controls, and other items in separate windows as you fly.
When you master the basic instruments in the Cessna Skylane 182S,
try to keep up with the latest electronic displays in the Learjet 45. If
you feel a bit overwhelmed, just point to an instrument or control to
see a pop-up label, or click an item to learn more about how it
works.
