Wondering if anyone else has worked through the academy content and what were your thoughts about it?

"Finished" phase 1, but lesson 6 (slow flight and flaps) crashes FS2020. I looked at the Navigraph Academy forum and noticed others having the same issue.

This problem prevents you from taking the phase 1 final exam.  You can still move on to the phase 2 lessons and briefings.

Lesson videos and briefing are fine, but there is no audio when flying the lesson to pass or fail the mission. For being a free product, I think it is worthwhile and informative either for beginners or more experienced simmers.

 I tried it and sort of like it.  I like the ground school portion a lot but the flight portion, I think could be better.   My problem is most consumer level controls (that the average person afford) are not accurate enough for real world training where you are given a grade. I even set them up per the videos. I do not mind having a flight review after the flight, I just do not like the scoring system and seeing the word "Fail".   This does not stop you from going to the next lesson, which is good.  Also I have my simulator set up for cold and dark, so when I start the lessons,  I have to quickly start my aircraft or loose precious altitude.  I would not mind starting on the ground and climbing to altitude.  I hope I am explaining this correctly.  I probably will continue to use it when real world weather is not good and I want to use the simulator.
