Aha, i missed the a/c recommendations earlier. Thanks for these. Oddly enough, I for some reason have the Piper Arrow! Thanks again!

Perfect - the Comanche looks fantastic. I mean, they both do but the Comanche in particular.

Sounds good fellas. I know that there is a complex aircraft lesson in the MSFS RWT mission set but was hoping for something more hand holdings...no biggie though, will learn it like irl. I did not know this, thanks! There is so much that can be done in LNM that it is simply amazing but this is remarkable. I'll dig into that today and give it a shot. Realize I may be making mountain out of a molehill when it comes to learning to fly complex a/c but thought I'd ask. Appreciate all the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I'll keep looking but if all else fails will follow the FAA training and simply create my own flight plans along the way. Appreciate the plane recommendations and the book recommendation as well. FSAcademy was so cool and for my simple goals, perfect. If nothing like that exists for complex I'll wing it. thanks again.

Good question. FAA definition was what i was thinking about actually. Sorry for not clarifying that. Retractable gear, Variable pitch prop, and >200bhp...single engine first though, but then certainly stepping up to twin and more complicated aircraft. In my mind I was hoping to find something similar to the step I could take in real life from my IFR rating to complex then multi engine. Sort of like "student pilot to ATP" :)

Thanks Charlie. Sorry about that.

HI all. I'm using MSFS2020 and have some skills related to simple aircraft, but I wanted to progress to more complex GA aircraft. I'm a pretty low-and-slow fella, and have enjoyed the FSAcademy VFR series as well as the very basic missions in MSFS2020. Those types of "guided" and "instructed" missions are kind of fun for me. While my search capabilities may leave a lot to be desired, I can't seem to find any on the internet so wondered if anyone had seen any. Does anyone know if there are any training missions that are geared toward learning complex GA aircrat for MSFS? If there aren't any missions geared toward complex a/c training, I figured I would use John Stern's Flight Simulator Handbook as a starting point. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I'm all ears. Thanks. mog

Yep - that solved it Alex! I tried emptying the folder but got a couple unusual errors so threw the wrench at it...reinstalled and voila! Working perfectly. Thank you for the quick response!

First, i have to say how much LNM is simply fantastic. I'm sure the issue I am having is user error but I'm stumped and hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have looked for a solution but havent found one that seems to be identical to my issue. I am trying to use my ipad and connect to the LNM webserver running on my sim rig. I can successfully connect using ip from firefox from both my ipad and a laptop. The LNM window opens, i can see my aircraft, the buttons at the top of the page, etc but the background maps simply don't load. The background stays red with the message "error please check LNM webserver is running" I verify that the webserver is running, and I am connected. I have windows firewall rules set up on the sim rig. But I am stumped how I can, or if I can get the background maps to load. Open to any ideas. i am sure I have missee something but am out of ideas. Thanks

Hi Alex. From memory, I thought I had created a VFR flight plan and saved but perhaps I ended up not using it. I can confirm I saw the flight plan yellow planned flight path in the "top down" view. I'll double check once I get home and thank you for the link. I wondered if I deselected "show vertical track"? Hmmm...I'll check that too. Sorry, I'm at work at the moment but will give it a another shot tonight. Flight trails are stored in the logbook, so I should be able to load it, I think?

Heard great things about the Crystal. I'm still rocking my Aero though and massively satisfied...though if I were to upgrade the Crystal seems to be a good choice.

First an apology if I have missed this somewhere either in the forums or in the manual. I'm certain I'm overlooking something that is probably simple, but am stumped (though I may be blind as well) Last night I did a short VFR flight from KAST to a grass strip by Mount St Helens. As this is my first time back in flight sim in a year I was modifying aircraft performance but also used LNM to create the flight plan. As I fly in VR, I checked in periodically and saw that LNM was creating a flight trail for my plan progress for the flight path itself but not for my elevation. I continued flying and when I was done, I looked at the settings which seemed logical but had them selected. While it's not that big of a deal, it's naturally nice to see how well (or more often how badly) I can track the vertical flight path as well. Would someone point me in the right direction as to what I may have missed. Thanks again for a great piece of software. It reminds me of the "old internet" where people made great, detailed, complex, and useful programs without hiding behind subscription based pay models. I'm sure a ton of work goes into LNM so hats off.
