Pretty much everyone will tell you it's actually easier to fly in clouds than
under the hood. I assume it's because you have the normal scope of vision
within the cockpit compared to the very limited view under the hood. So, while
you still can't see the horizon, you can see the radios, compass, instruments,
etc in the same view.

Then of course there's the added motivation. This is one video game you can't
afford to lose.
