How often do you have to go around?

Might want to try slowing down when you're 2nd in line. Leave more space

I tried it, but he was in a Cessna (152, or whatever comes with MSFS),
and I was in a Baron, and I was uneasy about trying to slow too much
when so close to the ground and so close to landing myself. I ended
up passing beneath him as he slowed. Although it's possible to ignore
collisions in MSFS, I went around and spent another five or ten
minutes flying a pattern of sorts and coming in again (I need practice
flying patterns, anyway, I guess).

You should plan better so you aren't running down the (I believe it
is a 182). I don't know what kind of approaches you are making
in the game, but you should hang further back in faster aircraft.
If you passed underneath me in real life, I'd have the FAA on
short final I'd have the FAA on your ass.

Dang Ron,

Didn't you know that the lower plane has the right of way in REAL life and
you should give way to a plane passing under you on final

*tongue in cheek*.

The rules say overtaking aircraft must give the right of way.

Sometimes the overtaking aircraft can't. Sorry, but when I'm on final
in some planes I can't slow down for the jerk in front of me doing 50 knots.

Then it's required that you give way in some other fashion. The
jerk doing 50 knots on final may be operating as fast as prudently
safe. Just as Mister MixedPickles in his computer game, it is
imcumbant on you to manouver to give the right of way to those
how have it.

How, when tower expects me to stay on final? I'm not trying to be a
bitch, but I can't tell you how many times I'm going into a large
airport with someone in front of me out for his Sunday stroll. Class B
and C towers generally don't want a following aircraft breaking off an
approach because the aircraft in front is so slow.

My 1st, supervised, student solo a twin cut me off on short final by
passing below me. I, stupid student, thought I had done something
wrong, until on the ground when my instructor starting using language
I'd never heard him use before.

That wasn't at OAK by any chance with MKF?

Heck, I couldn't even see the Cessna until it was about a quarter-mile
away. I spent a long time searching for it.

I think one problem is that I was not flying the pattern correctly.
The Cessna pulled in front of me. I'm still not clear on how long
each leg of the pattern is supposed to be, although I'm very gradually
getting better at flying a pattern without wandering all over the
place.

I don't know what kind of approaches you are making
in the game, but you should hang further back in faster aircraft.

Right now I'm just trying to fly a pattern correctly by myself. Once
I master that, I'll try to worry more about other aircraft in the
pattern.

If you passed underneath me in real life, I'd have the FAA on
short final I'd have the FAA on your ass.

That's the advantage of simulation. Mistakes in simulation cost
nothing.
