Well, at least your perception of real-life flying which you've been
demonstrating to us in the past on this list would make me believe you
to be pretty much on-par with these people ....

Folks, don't trust these claims blindly. Cross-check yourself, take the
default Cessna from CVS Base Package - which is the aircraft we've been
talking about all the time - , establish steady, level flight at 60
KIAS in the given environment, push the throttle decided but gently (in
order to stay out of stall at the left wing) .... and form your own
view,
