Have you done any more real-world flying? So glad you had the opportunity.I'm a real world pilot, and was invovled in FS for many years before taking lessons. I had a particularly exciting event during my training. I had practiced the nuance of control involved in performaing a forward slip to land in the sim, and greased my very first one in a real aircraft... all due to being able to aquire the nuance of control in the sim with yoke and pedals. My instructor was surprised too.Take care,Pilot MarkPhoenix, Arizona, USA
