Great simulator experience!
As an A320 pilot himself, Ian was a very patient person. With my limited experience of a single engine simulator at home, followed by a trial flight in a Piper Warrior, this was a step function change.
As a registered deafblind person, the low level lighting did have some limitations, but more than compensated for by Ian's calm instructions. Lots to take in, with an A320 being 'fly by wire' rather than the traditional yoke, and being a commercial aircraft, it had much more complicated instrumentation. From pushback at Gatwick, take off and 'flight' to Manchester, perfect approach and touchdown, enjoying some great simulated countryside views on the way. Keeping manual track of the programmed flight path was challenging, but instructive, learning the sensitivity of the controls along the way.
As a simulator, guess a full 6-axis system could
be better, but for the technical content, value for money and for pilot training, this would be hard to beat.
