点评:One of the best ways I have ever spent an afternoon!
As purely an enthusiast of aircraft and machinery in general, I had always wanted to experience what it was like for the skilled pilots of the world to fly a sizeable passenger jet.
My amazing wife found Full Motion Experience and bought me a voucher for an hour in a professional flight sim for a Boeing 737. After a pleasant exchange with the Full Motion team to sort the dates, it was off up the road to Burgess Hill on the 22nd July we went.
On arrival we were greeted and shown in by a venue simulator engineer who was very welcoming. We then waited in the cafe surrounded by vending machines and with a view of the simulator hall.
When it was time for my slot the gentlemen looking after me - an experienced pilot named Mak took us into a briefing room where we formally but in a relaxed fashion discussed what I wanted to get out of the time in the simulator. Once I had described I just wanted to experience controlling the aircrafts and listed off a few choice airports, Mak took my wife and I into the simulator machine itself and helped us get comfortable.
The efficiency in how Mak set up the experience was incredible. Within minutes I was seated in the pilot flying left seat and Mak had established the aircraft for my first take off. As an instructor he was clear and precise, answered all questions easily and quickly, offered us plenty of different things to try and was a truly great host.
The machine itself was nothing short of remarkable. I was told it had to be 99.9% accurate to real life and there is no kidding - it really was incredible. The sounds, graphics and motion felt as real as real can be without being in a real aircraft. It was easy to forget where you were.
From the start to finish of this experience I was grinning, feeling perfectly comfortable and I haven't shut up about it to my friends and family since. I have come away with amazing photos/video clips and the best memory.
Thank you Full Motion Experience and thank you Mak - I will be back one day!

作为一名纯粹的飞机和机械爱好者,我一直想体验一下世界上熟练飞行员驾驶大型客机的感觉。
我了不起的妻子找到了 Full Motion Experience,并给我买了一张波音 737 专业飞行模拟飞行一小时的代金券。在与 Full Motion 团队愉快地交流并安排了日期后,我就沿着前往伯吉斯山 (Burgess Hill) 的道路出发了。 7月22日我们去了。
抵达后,我们受到了一位非常热情的场馆模拟器工程师的欢迎和带领。然后我们在咖啡馆里等待,周围都是自动售货机,可以看到模拟器大厅。
当我的空档时间到了,照顾我的先生们 - 一位名叫 Mak 的经验丰富的飞行员带我们进入一间简报室,我们在那里正式但轻松地讨论了我想在模拟器中得到什么。当我描述了我只是想体验控制飞机并列出了几个选择的机场后,Mak 带我和我的妻子进入了模拟器机器并帮助我们感到舒适。
麦设置体验的效率令人难以置信。几分钟之内,我就坐在飞行员左侧的座位上,麦已经为我的第一次起飞准备了飞机。作为一名教练,他清晰而准确,轻松快速地回答了所有问题,为我们提供了许多不同的尝试,是一位真正出色的主人。
这台机器本身就非常了不起。有人告诉我它必须对现实生活有 99.9% 的准确度,这不是开玩笑——这真的令人难以置信。即使不在真正的飞机上,声音、图形和动作也能感受到真实的感觉。很容易忘记自己身在何处。
从这次经历的开始到结束,我一直在微笑,感觉非常舒服,从那以后我就没有对我的朋友和家人闭嘴。我留下了令人惊叹的照片/视频剪辑和最美好的回忆。
谢谢 Full Motion Experience,也谢谢 Mak - 我有一天会回来的!
