Since I've dragged you all through my training this far, I'd like to mention that I'll be taking my IFR flight test tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 8:00 AM EDT (12:00z). In Canada, at least, this is the hardest of all the flight tests, even worse than commercial, instructor, etc., and it's typical to get a partial failure on the first try and have to retake that part of the test. Still, I'm going to at least try to pass the whole thing in one go, and I would be grateful if my fellow fgfs developers will think of me at 12z tomorrow and send any prayers/best wishes/positive karma/Jedi force (as appropriate) my way.
On a related note, while I've had over 3 hours of actual at altitude now (including a VOR hold inside a fast-growing cumulus cloud), I've never had the chance to do an approach to anywhere near minima in actual IMC because the weather has been so good this spring and summer. This morning, fortunately, the airport clouded over to an 800 ft ceiling while we were in the air, so our final ILS approach was for real -- 800 ft is not that exciting for ILS, but it was still fun not being able to see the runway until the last minute and a bit, and not having to wear the stupid foggles.
