The instrument panel on board your simulator is designed to respond to movements from the keyboard or mouse, from a joystick, or even a set of USB-enabled aircraft yoke and rudder pedals. A Cessna 172 simulator essentially empowers you to pilot your plane in a virtual world, in which you can maneuver in all three dimensions. There are a number of different perspectives through which you can operate in the environment within a simulator: You may look at the outside world from inside the cockpit, in in the 1st person, as if you were actually in the plane. Or you may look at the plane from outside, in third-person as well. Cessna 172 simulator programs constitute a virtual "world". Inside this world, you'll see real landmarks and real airports, based on actual map data. These simulation programs are designed to respond to conditions such as weather which include wind, clouds, and temperature. The plane is designed to even be responsive to weight and balance complexities. These factors together mimic the impact that all of these factors would have had on your plane in the real world. So it is engineered to be as realistic as technology will allow it. Just about everything that can be controlled in an actual Cessna aircraft can be controlled in a Cessna 172 simulator: Control movements, navigation equipment, communications equipment, lighting, fuel management, engine management, and electrical systems. A Cessna 172 simulator is also realistic in terms of geographic distances and the times required to fly them. If a flight from Chicago to New York were to take 6 hours in in reality, then it will take that long in the simulator universe. As a matter of fact, simulators are an excellent means to fly a "dry run" of an actual upcoming trip that you are planning to go on soon. Weather is also realistic in a simulator. As a matter of fact, Cessna 172 simulator programs offer the ideal means to practice and become proficient at instrument flying (which is the act of flying "blind" through the clouds). Basically, a Cessna 172 simulator is an outstanding educational tool, empowering you to learn how to fly real aircraft.
