Ha! So you’ve got me beat by just about 3 or 4 years 😁👍

And just to add congratulations for being one of the extremely rare developers to actually include the visual circuit speed/power/config diagram in the manual.

This is essential, it really annoys me that developers seem to think everyone is born with an innate ability to fly their aircraft with absolutely no speed or power references.

Yes the theory is you find your own manual online but a lot of the time unless it’s a specific training manual it won’t have circuit or approach diagrams

I got my instrument ticket without GPS. GPS were rare and expensive in early 2000th. I had to learn how to deal with GPS during my commercial multi add on. Seminole I was flying had GNS430 installed, so GPS approach was part of my checkride. I did on one engine anyway lOL
