August 22, 20205 yr I decided to take the MSFS flight lessons as a way to familiarize myself with the simulator (I am transitioning from X-Plane). The lessons are very well done, but the closed pattern lesson was very strange. It is a left pattern out of the KSEZ Airport. The instructor tells you to make a left turn to 120 degrees once you reach a certain altitude, which makes perfect sense. However, the arrow on the screen points to the right and not left. I turned left and the simulator never recognized that I was making the crosswind leg. I did the whole pattern but once I landed the instructor said I failed the lesson. I tried again. This time, although the instructor told me to turn left I actually followed the arrow on the screen and turned right. Voila, the simulator recognized my turn to the crosswind leg (!). Now I am on the right side of the runway on a pattern that is supposed to be left. So, I did a teardrop maneuver and ended up 90 degrees to the runway. I crossed the runway and turned downwind and the simulator recognized my turn. After turning base and final, I landed and passed the test. Anyone else tried the traffic patter lesson?
