Default XXX Tweaking the throttle on approach

extolling the virtues of MSX I recently got the latest version and tried
it out with the aircraft I'm training on. Basically I'd have to say it
simulates a C172 very poorly and I'd say it's only use is for simulated
instrument flying. Even so, it's response does not mimic my aircraft
near the limits of the flight envelope -it behaves like a flying game
really. Red Bull flying race? What a pile!


A lot of people think FS2004 is better than the latest version,
because it needs less computer horsepower. MSFS is like the Star Trek
movies... every other one is a dog ;-) In any case, download the
RealAir C172, it acts better than the stock version:
