== | === Worldwide unique paragliding simulator === | ||
ActiveFly is a simulator just for paragliding. It let's you practice paragliding on the ground. | |||
{{cquote|In order to make practicing with the ActiveFly Simulator as realistic as possible, the harness as well as the risers and brakes are suspended below a frame in such a way that they can be operated. The brakes are extended and retracted via servos, simulating steering forces as they occur in a particular situation. The pilot will try to keep these forces constant by pulling or releasing the brakes. His actions can be viewed on a monitor and subsequently evaluated, allowing him to check the results and monitor progress as he develops his piloting skills.|[http://www.activefly.com/simulator_en.htm ActiveFly.com]}} | |||
