Congratulations! I'm sure the rest of the training will be over in no time and it's good to hear that FG is proving helpful. I'm intending on investing in a yoke and pedals over winter when the weather robs me of some regular training and I've already noticed the realism of the flight models in flightgear over other flight sims. Especially when adjusting final with throttle etc.
Unlike you, my last lesson I'd rather forget - second attempt at circuits and first time on runway 18 at EGNF. With a TORA of 382 metres it is apparently the UK's shortest licensed and also feels like the UK's bumpiest too! Oh, and a 30 deg crosswind for good measure!!! I bounced in every time and almost took the far fence with me on one of the touch and go's. I've got a long way to go yet... :-( Hopefully, the short and soft field location will make me a better pilot. My instructor (in a futile attempt to stop me getting downhearted) mentioned that students and low time PPLs from larger airfields often have trouble landing on 18 and that I'd get it eventually. Perhaps I'll be a 100 hour PPL graduate! Cheers, Matt. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
