The hot weather was in the sim, not in real life (fortunately). That's
another advantage of simulation. There would be nothing fun about
flying
at
43° C in real life.


I doubt it would be uncomfortably hot at 3-4000 feet if it's 43° C on the
ground. Maybe you're flying too close to the ground.

I'll disagree, 43° C (109 f.) is extremely uncomfortable at 3000'.
Unless you have A/C in the plane, I don't.

Yep, 43° C (109 f.) WOULD be extremely uncomfortable at 3000'. But it
probably not that hot at 3000 if it's 43C on the ground.

I'll be honest, I won't fly (C152) in that hot of weather. Solo, I can
get
off the ground, but I can't grasp the controls. My palms sweat like a
fountain.
