Hello there! I’m Ryan, @Ryan_Farell interviewer/editor for Infinite Flight Interviews. Today, we will interview @Aussie_Wombat ! Sit back, relax, enjoy!
How is your flight training going?
“My flight training is going really well, as I am fast tracking my way to solo, I have been really enjoying it. I will be flying another lesson next week over in New Zealand whilst I’m there on holidays. I’m in flight training in a Foxbat A22LS.”
What’s your favorite part of Infinite Flight/IFC?
“Well of Infinite Flight, it is the realism , and with global, the realism will be off the scale. With the IFC, I just like being around other av-geeks, people who know what they’re talking about.”
What is your dislikes on Infinite Flight & IFC?
“Well, in Infinite Flight, it’s probably people who know nothing about aviation flying on live…oh yeah, and also airlines @ NUC. In the IFC, Probably people who have just joined and start bossing people around like they own the place. Also, everyone on Instagram commenting on Laura or @ Infinite Flight’s posts, saying that they are quitting Infinite Flight cos’ the update’s taking too long. So if you are one of those people: We don’t care if you go, it’s actually a better place without you.”
What’s your opinion on Infinite Flight’s upcoming Global Flight?
"Well I like the other things coming in the update other then the globe. Yeah flying the world is cool, but I think my favorite things in Global are:
Sky rendering improved and terrain
MD11/DC10
Engine Start/Stop
New Liveries
And much more"
What’s your life outside of Infinite Flight?
"Well, I am a pilot in training…
Um I don’t do much outside of the aviation world. I fly to NZ a few times a year, I love to go plane spotting. I attend high school and I have dreams of getting a CPL. For work I clean planes at my aeroclub I fly at."
What got you into aviation?
“Well, honestly, I’m not sure, what got me hooked though, was Infinite Flight and the community. The earliest flight I can remember was a Qantas flight, on a B738. I was quite young then so I don’t remember anything else.”
How’s Air New Zealand Virtual coming along?
“It’s finished , all done and approved. We are just waiting for the Global Update to come out and we will start services. I think it’ll be a blast.”
Where did you find out about Infinite Flight?
“I really needed a good flight simulator, I had been searching the App Store for a few months and stumbled upon IF. This was back in late 2013ish. And even then I thought the graphics were great etc. I’m still not sure what brought me to spend $7.99AUD on it. But I did. And I was so pleased with it. The first aircraft I bought was the Boeing 777-300ER.”
Thanks for letting us interviewing you @Aussie_Wombat ! I enjoyed interviewing you for my first ever IFI interview and I am sure @Rowdy_Kepler was pleased as well!
