Merci beaucoup ! To me, FSX was the best simulator I ever owned. It was quirky as anything, but the clouds, water and color rendering could be adjusted to really give very nice images. Oddly, I still miss it a lot - in many ways it was ahead of its time and until sometime next year I don't think it has been bettered in many respects Cheers & thanks Pete 9 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: I thought you were heading for Mars with the rapid ascent in the second view.

They are a combination of different freeware varieties, along with some ideas I had on combining them. I am quite pleased with the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jack. I appreciate it But I find it very difficult. I have a lesson plan from a you tube video series for a Cessna that I am working through (its a IRL training sequence) and I am getting better with it. I think for me the really big issues are a lack of perspective in terms of where I am spatially at times (speed and height on approach) , and learning to slow down. I continually come in too fast and too high (probably they are related). I realize that its only a sim, but gosh it does increase your heart rate I find But enough of my current issues - I am making "baby steps" of progress and one of these days there will be screenshots Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some practice landings in the air, like 2000 feet up. Stall and learn what stall speed is for the plane you’re flying. Slow and steady does it with small planes. Or watch a 737 land an autoland. See what speed is needed, all that good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
