I'm a pilot (PPL) low hours. I have been reluctant to use Flight
Simulator 2004 for flight training for very long time, amount other
things because the landings and the flare moment never really felt
nowhere near of the real thing. Now I'm studying and preparing myself
to take the IMC rating and I have to tell you that for instrument
spanning is great.
One big problem I have encounter so far, when using my laptop the
controls (using a yokestick or keyboard) were very heavy and time
retarded, initially I thought that there was a problem with my
yokestick, so I bought a new one, but the problem persisted, then when
I installed the system (FS2004) in a desktop computer the problem
disappeared and the simulator was again working as expected.

Kind regards
CR

turn to tell us how much to bank as compared to just reading the gauges...

Plus a limited field of vision, since it is difficult to "turn one's
head" in MSFS.
