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.


I don't know if I agree completely...

It's much harder to keep your scan going when you want so badly to look out
the window at the beautiful cloud formations!
