Default MS Flight Sim

Right on. Have any of you flown the blue box(Link ANT-18)? It maybe approved
but it flies like no airplane I ever flew. BUT it was a fantastic workout
for TRAINING.

I agree that flying MSFS in IFR is really flying.

When I fly with MSFS I always fly by hand. I have settings set to full
realism. I use real approach plates. I always set visibility to the
minimum for the approach. I fly the full approach. When I am finished
I am drained.

When I fly for real I use the autopilot coupled to the GPS. I am
really just a passenger. Flying for real is much easier than MSFS.
Even hand flying the real plane is much easier the MSFS.

But that is good because when all of the fancy fails for real, I will
be glad I spent all of that time on MSFS.
