Default How do you find the limits of areas on a chart?

It is much more similar than different.


Your reference point re real flight...is??? I've been flying
since 1975, am instrument-rated, have shot a legal (no cheat) ILS
approach in conditions where a Citation and a King Air missed in
sequence in front of me. For-real flying. Slower approach speed
made the difference, and I even planned on that to surprised
success. Shot a similar one at Charlie West. Exactly on
centerline, but all one dot high, my preference. The viz was so
bad, Ground had trouble giving me taxi instructions. Couldn't
see me.

Conversely, have all versions of the MS toy; was 1.0 around 1983?
10 joysticks and 3 control wheels/rudder pedals. Half-dozen
utilities to tweak the flight models to utter frustration. Yet I
cannot fly an idiot visual pattern in the M$ toy with a 172-class
airplane. Please help me! Bill Gates is out to slowly destroy
my confidence aloft.
