To put it bluntly, the simulator is a simulated cockpit, with three huge display screens in front of it surrounding a complete field of view, and in front of the seat are joysticks and displays. The simulator can change different weather conditions, and the simulated flight effect is almost indistinguishable from the real flight experience. Before the pilot officially touches the aircraft, he must first master the operation of the aircraft in the simulation cabin before he can fly the training aircraft.

As a fourth-generation fighter, the cockpit of the J20 has been fully electric. Unlike the Soviet-style aircraft's large and dense instrument panels, the J20's display consists of three displays. Coupled with the matching flight helmet, a large amount of data will be fed directly to the helmet display. So the cockpit as a whole looks concise and clear, revealing a strong sci-fi style.

Zhuang Yichen sat on the seat with an excited face, then grabbed the lever in front of him, turned his head to Captain Liu and said, "Come on, teach me how to fly." Haha, I'm going to have a good time! ”

Captain Liu shrugged his shoulders, and then threw him an operation manual, "This is for you, let's think about it slowly first, I only know a little bit about it." He walked to Zhuang Yichen's side, pointed to the joystick and said, "Come, let go of your hand first, this thing is not used for holding two hands." ”

"Do you see the two small auxiliary poles on the main pole? This is an engine lever that controls the thrust of the two engines. Turn on the engine, then the main lever is pulled back and the nose climbs. Push forward and the nose is lowered. To the left and right is to control the tilt of the fuselage. In addition, there are two pedals under the feet to control the direction of the tail of the aircraft. That's all, try the rest yourself. ”

"That's it?" Zhuang Yichen listened with a helpless face, this explanation, it is better not to talk about it.

"yes, that's all there is to it. As for other radar systems, combat systems, you may not be able to understand the surface if you specialize in it for a month. It takes years of systematic education to train a barely qualified fighter pilot, and you can figure that out now and just fly the plane with a cool time. ”

When Zhuang Yichen heard it, he felt that what he said was also reasonable, after all, it was just a simulation, so let's play it as a simulation game. He sat up straight, and said, "Okay, give me the helmet, let's try it?" ”

"Just fly directly, what helmet do you need? You can't read the data stream on it.

Then, staring at the three screens in front of you, it's like playing a realistic game, after flying, climb up and down and turn around casually, you can control these well! ”

Captain Liu said and went to a computer next to the simulation cabin to operate a few times, and the entire cab suddenly lit up. Those three screens show a straight runway. The sky is cloudless and the sun is shining, which is the most basic sunny day pattern.

Captain Liu stood behind him and began to instruct. "Turn on the engine, don't drive it too big, look at the scale, just push it to 2."

"Push both?"

"Nonsense."

Zhuang Yichen did as he said, only to see that the screen in front of him immediately changed and moved backwards at a rapid speed, and when he was caught off guard, he suddenly shouted, "Hey,! It's running, I'm not ready yet! ”

"You're excited! Just keep running, okay! Now listen to me, pull up the nose and pull slowly! ”

When Zhuang Yichen heard this, he slowly pulled the main joystick back, only to see the scenery around him change rapidly, and the plane slowly left the runway and went straight into the blue sky.

"Good, yes, like this. Stow the landing gear. ”

"Where's the undercarriage?"

"The one next to your hand, just push it back into place."

Zhuang Yichen did as he said. By this time, the plane had completely gotten rid of the ground and flew into the sky. The display screen and various indicators on the console were lit up, and Zhuang Yichen didn't know what it meant, so he simply didn't look at the console, just stared at the three screens, and maintained a flying attitude.

"Alright, don't climb. Stay level in level flight with a little more thrust. ”

Zhuang Yichen also adapted to it at this time, and when he heard Captain Liu's words, he pushed down the engine lever, and then straightened the main remote lever forward.

On the display of the main screen, the ground below has become very far away. The aircraft enters a normal cruising state.

"Beautiful! What is the height now? ”

"Which is the altimeter?"

"Well, it's the speed next to it. Next to it is the oil. ”

Zhuang Yichen has completely entered the state, and according to this, it turns out that it is not difficult to fly a fighter jet! He smiled and replied, "Oh, I see. Interesting, it's so much more fun than a computer game! ”

"Haha, of course! Come, get ready, let's make a turn. ”

For a whole afternoon, Zhuang Yichen was in the hangar in the belly of this mountain, having a lot of fun. It's just the simplest flight maneuver, and he's practiced it with great skill. At the end, it is even possible to make a series of flips on the simulator.

The afternoon passed quickly, and in the evening, Zhuang Yichen was completely addicted to playing this set of simulators. Captain Liu saw that he was so wasteful about sleeping and forgetting to eat, and he couldn't help it, so he left him here alone and tossed him around.

Time passed little by little, and according to the simple manual, Zhuang Yichen quickly figured out the other functions on the console. Of course, this understanding is limited to understanding what they are for. As for the specific content displayed, he still didn't know anything.

But those things aren't the point. Now Zhuang Yichen has abandoned the entire set of fire control system and radar system, and only practiced the maneuvering of the aircraft. With what he has so far, it is enough to use.

After playing for most of the night, Zhuang Yichen was already proficient in completing various flight stunts. The change in the maneuver of the flight is nothing more than the angle of inclination of the fuselage and wings in coordination with each other. These rely more heavily on the superior power and responsive operating systems of the aircraft itself. Even an ace pilot, no matter how skilled he is, will never fly out of the tactical maneuvers of a third-generation aircraft when he flies a second-generation aircraft.

In terms of power and maneuverability, the J20 is undoubtedly the best among fighters. Zhuang Yichen completed various actions on the simulator and did not feel any pressure at all.

It only needs to be operated in place, rollover rotation, stall climb, and the aircraft completes these actions, and it is completely up without any blockage.

Zhuang Yichen glanced at his watch, and it was already four o'clock in the morning. The belly of the mountain was empty, and there was no movement in the entire hangar except for the slight noise of the exhaust fans.

I'm tired of playing with the simulator, and there are six real guys next to it. If you don't take a look, it won't be too inconsistent with Zhuang Yichen's character. He glanced at the hidden door, then got up and got out of the simulator and walked straight to the nearest fighter jet.
