What Our Clients Say

"A lot of knowledge with the FS 2024, he resolved the issues of my joystick and helped me programming the joystick"

Jame R.

"5 Stars!

My Equipment: MSFS 2020, PMDG 737, Xbox, Thrust Master Yoke, Pedals, Throttle Quadrant.

My Experience: Active B737 Captain.

My Issues: Cold and dark on start with no way of performing electrical start up, yoke stuck in the hard left position, continuous cockpit drift left and right, control binding issues.

Fix: Nick was excellent, he quickly fixed the drift issue and then moved onto the cold and dark issue. PMDG was reinstalled but didn’t initially fix the issue. However Nick never gave up and through trial and error/trouble shooting the issue was fixed with 15 minutes of the session left. That was enough time to tidy up the control binding issues.

The whole system has never worked this well and I am relaxed knowing that if any other issues come up I know exactly where to go to get them fixed!"

"Sam is an awesome instructor. He’s patient and knowledgeable. It’s always great getting his real life experience and perspective, as I go through my own instrument training."

"It was great. Alan is really knowledgeable, but even more important for this format he's really good at doing the back to back sessions like this and using the tech. I'll be doing more with him for sure."

"I learned that there are ways to correct the set up parameters to make the sim respond properly to the many inputs necessary to “fly” the aircraft. And Patrick was extremely experienced, both with the computer and real flying, and was patient and helpful by pointing out where to change the set up of the program."

"My experience with Flight SIM coach team so far has been amazing. Michael was super responsive in helping me get the initial appointment scheduled and making sure I get everything prepared for the call.

My flight SIM Coach - Nick Marcantonio was great, very professional and super efficient. He saved me a ton of time vs. me trying to watch online videos to do it on my own. Very happy with what we were able to accomplish in just 1.5 hours! Super excited to start using my VR headset with finetuned settings and all the SIM flight controls and graphics optimizations Nick helped me configure.

Will certainly be back for more flight SIM training soon!"

"Alan is as close to being there with an actual CFI in reality, very quickly notices weak points and gently redirects. Nice to have someone who has been around the block."
