How accurate is your flying? Can you keep headings, altitudes and fly near-perfect manoeuvres? Nows your perfect chance to prove you are the best! Airshow Pilot is all about accurate, precision flying at air shows, whether in an aerobatic Extra, a passenger airliner or a Hawk fast jet trainer - in fact you can fly any aircraft that you have installed in FSX!
Whether you want to perform Loops, Cuban Eights, Rolls and Immelmanns in a dedicated aerobatic aircraft like the Extra, fly a fast and low display pass along the crowd line in an huge Airbus or perform in an Arrow or Diamond formation in a Hawk trainer, Airshow Pilot is guaranteed to give you a whole new perspective on aircraft handling. (The Hawk utilises the Learjet instrument panel.)
Learn via the in-built training feature, practise and then test your flying skills against AI competitors on your PC or compete online with real Airshow Pilot competitors who will be flying in the same events as you throughout the year. Refine your flying skills during a full calendar of events. Exclusive tracking software records your flights for you to review and will evaluate and rate your skills. You are also able to download other competitors' flights and play them back to see how your opponents are shaping up!
Competition results are ranked throughout a season and every pilot will receive a world ranking - trophies are reserved for only the best pilots in each category!
During competitions the airfield will be filled with air show crowds - people, tents, booths, cars, display aircraft and much more. You can even hear the crowd noise! Airshow Pilot also includes the tools for you to design air show aerobatic events, flight programs and even airport populations!
Cool idea, but fatally flawed. FSX doesn't model rudder control properly at all. It just yaws the nose around without modeling the HUGE effect that rudder can have on roll control.
Great idea, and it looks great, but the underlying simulator software is inadequate to teach the actual accurate flight inputs for airshow flying.
Xplane could do it however. And the old "Flight Unlimited" was a great trainer for this kind of stuff.

@rockyPants4000 You are right and your wrong. It is true that a percentage of aircraft do not accurately replicate the power of adding rudder while in Flight. But many add-on aircraft take this into consideration and correct it.

@EFSFILM That is sort of true, you are correct. The "real air" addons and others do have some "tricks" that make it a little more real. The recent A2A Piper Cub is "close". But as a pilot, I will tell you that they are all still off quite a bit from reality. FSX just doesn't have it in it. But this air show addon is proabably still a lot of fun none the less!

@rockyPants4000 Haha of course, it is only a simulator after all ;) And thank you.
