ABRIS Training - Suggestion to the developers

[Golgotha]

I have to say that Black Shark has been well worth the wait as I am now feeling more confident in handling this 'sports car' of the helicopter world.

 

As a long-term flight simmer, I wonder if the developers might consider a version of the ABRIS that can be run as a module, independantly of Black Shark.

 

If this was produced, by running it without having to load the whole program, would make it a lot easier in learning how to best utilise its capabilities, outside of the cockpit and I do know there is the preparation phase that can be used, with another aspect where mission planning could be undertaken and uploaded to the actual simulator, much like I would assume primary planning takes place in the real world of the KA50.

 

It would offer a great advantage of requiring less processor power for those without the often termed 'Ninja Machines' and could if run alone actually be larger, so as to allow greater vision. This was done in the past in a couple of FS Add-ons and I am sure would soon attract some excellent walkthrough tutorials, which would allow everybody to gain greater insight and make the practical applications, much easier to learn, in an environment outside of the pilot couch.

 

Its just my view based upon my personal experience of trying to get to grips with this important part of the instrument panel.

 

I just wonder what others, experienced and not so experienced think:robot:

I must say, I really dig this idea. Admittedly I know very few practical functions of the ABRIS and I wouldn't mind learning more about it in a cold environment.

You can practice and learn ABRIS in the helicopter cabin, standing in a parking lot. Why not?

Thats very true, you can indeed do it with the helicopter sat on the pan, but not everybody wants or can afford to buy/print the manual, so having just the ABRIS as a module open on your desktop, means that you can rapidly switch back and forth. As I said, with not everybody having the fastest pc, using less resources, would be a good option. It woiuld also be good if you were using it somewhere that it is not acceptable to install the simulator.

 

Its just a thought but for my part when I was able to do this with an FS add-on some time ago, I really managed to learn the FMS, really well; including some of the more obscure functions. I do remember that that module also allowed you to develop and upload flight plans into Flight Simulator.

Like the Garmin trainers. They're awesome when you are learning to use the GNS430.
