Default Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004

VFR flying is different than IMC - when using VFR rules your eyes should
be outside the cockpit - not inside on the instruments. In many ways an
instrument approach - even partial panel - is simpler - there are fewer
things to look at/be aware of.

Of course, if your flying experience is limited to MSFS then it is all
the same.

Cherokees) I still couldn't hold a stable approach on a simulator.



You're probably depending a great deal on physical sensations. You can
probably get away with that on the aircraft you've been flying, but not all
aircraft (it's hard to fly by the seat of one's pants in an Airbus).
