So how did they do, on landing the sim? Did they strike out for home, or
wait, and was the sim partly responsible for helping make their decision?

Our guy had a tough landing in the sim (he could re-use the plane
again, but that's about it) and decided to wait it out until the wind
died down.

They departed KIOW about 4 PM, and the winds had diminished to less
than 10 knots by the time they landed in Missouri, some 2.4 hours
later. All in all, waiting was a wise move.

I don't think the sim was the reason for waiting -- this guy has been
flying for decades, and knew precisely what kind of turbulence awaited
him in the real sky. But it was good practice.

Here's a candid shot of Mx, before he gained the extra 300kg

I picked up one bad habit from MSFS from the way the joystick worked
while touching down and my instructor caught it early on during training
and I made the problem go away without further ado.

What bad habit was it?

First time? A crash. Relatively simple 4ch trainer, but no help. Came
fairly quickly after repairs and a second session. it's th ecoming towards
you thing of course.

I try to think of it not as coming towards you, or anything else, but like
being in the cockpit.

As I start a turn, I think, turning left, turning left, more left, (if I
need to tighten the turn) less left, less left, (if I need to decrease the
bank angle) then, straightening out with less left, and so forth. That way,
it does not matter in the least, if it is coming towards you, or going away,
or transitioning between the two.

Try it, and I think it will help.

In some ways a sim is harder to fly, I think.

That's becase they don't have any wings and the L/D is crap.

And I thought he'd gone away for a few days... Since mxsmanic has never
flown anything other than his computer game, he will never be able to make a
comparison to actual flying, no matter how much he tries to argue to the
contrary.

So what? Aren't you (and the rest of you never-say-die MX-bashers)
getting just a BIT tired of this game?

MX is a harmless (if persistent) lad, and you guys are polluting every
thread on this group with your competition to see who can most
creatively insult him. PLEASE give it a rest?
