Marty as I had done - I'm a trained pilot - but Marty isn't.


Was he keeping the aircraft straight and level in IMC? Why didn't you spin
helplessly out of control in 90 seconds, the way you're supposed to whenever
you enter a cloud without an instrument rating?

How would you know? You've not been anywhere near IMC in an aircraft.
Your room is always straight and level. The top of your computer makes
a wonderful horizon.

Cirrus.

It's a bit buggy though, it tends to crash the system.
