Tweaking the throttle on approach

And flaps...it has to have flaps.

Don't small single-engine planes have flaps?

The number of engines doesn't matter. By the way a twin with two
HP wouldn't be HP either.

High-performance, complex ... when did the FAA set these standards? It must
have been when the Wright brothers were around if they are this low. To me,
an F-16 is high performance, not a Baron. And a Space Shuttle is complex (or,
arguably, a large jet airliner).

That's because you have no idea what happens in the real world.
Compared with ms flight sim on a computer an ultralight is high
performance and complex...

Maybe I'm just smarter than a lot of pilots, if they call a Baron "complex" or
"high performance."

Try it.

Maybe. But I don't think that has anything to do with your delusions
about being able to fly a real Baron.

I have. It is a nice game. I prefer the real thing though. They have
very little in common.

Since it hasn't been tested, we don't know if it's a delusion or not.

If so, you haven't configured your sim correctly.

Configure all you want. The Microsoft sim-game, played on a
stationary computer at ground level, has very little in common with a
real aircraft moving at altitude.

As I've said, it sounds like you don't have your sim configured correctly.

I am pretty sure I am in a better position to judge this than you. I
have flown real airplanes. I own one. I have played MS flight sim. It
is fun to do instrument approaches with it - it is somewhat helpful in
keeping me practiced at the procedures. I KNOW which one is real, and
which one isn't. Apparently you mistake your computer world for the
real one. I, however, do not have that problem. It has nothing to do
with configuring my game. It has everything to do with you configuring
your mind.

Which aircraft do you simulate, what type of flight controls do you have, and
which add-ons do you have installed?

Operative word here is "played".
