I hope not because I still can't land the Cessna 150 in MSFS.

You think that's a problem?

I can't taxi a C-172 in MSFS.

Damn thing always winds up in a ground loop.

::chuckle::

I use FSX to practice IFR (as a strictly VFR pilot) and landing is hard work
in the sim as so many clues are just not there. It's a wacky universe in
there, I can complete a credible (as in still flyable afterward) circuit in
a B737 but can't pass the MS PPL checkride!

FS are cheap to run, but the real word is far, far better. Sorta like
comparing sandpaper with a beach ......

What was it about sand and sandpaper that made you think of that?
