It has been several months since I messed around with Flight Sim, but I
haven't ever really noticed this, so I can't really comment on what is going
on. The winds due depend on if you are using the "real weather" or not...
Can't comment on anything more than 172.

I think the sim is accurately simulating something, I just don't know
what it is. Maybe I just have more of a tendency to overshoot than to
undershoot. Still, it seems that I drift sometimes even after I am
perfectly aligned.

For what it's worth, I actually did a go-around and flew the pattern
again this evening (or afternoon, in the simulator world), while
landing at KPHX. I managed to hold altitude relatively well (if I
understand correctly, 1000' AGL is the usual position). Turns were
okay. No help from autopilot. The weather was very nice, though,
which made things easier. And I know KPHX and Phoenix very well.
When I saw three aircraft approaching as I turned to base I knew that
ATC was going to shaft me again, but I figured I could use the
practice.
