I'm a new AEO and have been tasked with developing a flight simulator based S & R rescue mission package to be used on our two simulators. We would like to use this to supplement S & R field training because simulator based learning would be less costly, less time consuming, and more likely to be available on a frequent basis. We use MS FS2004 running on Win X-P because it is so easily programmable. I would be interested in corresponding with anyone who is already working with this type of simulation. jgs437@rap.midco.net Capt, AEO, Rushmore Sqd, SD Wing
I'm running this: http://www.abacuspub.com/civil-air-patrol-search-rescue-bonus-ed-download (http://www.abacuspub.com/civil-air-patrol-search-rescue-bonus-ed-download)
on my olde Windows XP machine with FSX at the house. It works fine. For $30 I wouldn't reinvent the wheel.
The mico soft simulator 2004 has a CAP add on program that does the SAR training and practice. The programs are still sold on ebay and amazon. I have used both on our simulators and they work fine.
