Congratulations! Had no doubts...
For an IFR interested VFR student, what's an MDA, and what does it mean to
bust it by 20 ft? I'd guess at minimum designated altitude?
Maybe if I ask enough questions, I'll have you on the road to CFI/CFII...

Static tables or real time calculations or something other?
Both, sort-of. Unlike X-Plane, FlightGear does not limit you to a
single type of physics engine. JSBSim works with static coefficients,

Thanks for the explanation, David. From everything I've heard so far about IFR
flying, it's a game of Simon Says. And Simon's on various frequencies that
you need to keep up with.

From what I can tell, you know your stuff. No luck necessary. Go get the
certificate you've worked so hard to earn. Just promise a full report
that even us VFR people can understand.
Best of luck anyway. ;)

Why, thank you (all)!
First landing was pretty uneventful, aside from the pilot giving

That number will increase rapidly. Did you go through any post-solo

Yes. You also need a c152-set.xml file, which you'll

Congratulations! Great feeling, isn't it?
I started about 6 weeks ago, in a 152, and had a very similar experience...
Didn't do any stalls on the first flight, but I was kind of shocked when he had
me do the taxiing and the takeoff by myself. (Maybe that's the difference
between an intro flight
Very true... But it's the wing load that cause your stall speed to
increase... Seat cussion load causes other problems ;)

Just gotta rationalize If I go for my PPL, I need to stay healthy. If I
don't, I'll just keep my butt on the couch, eat, and gain weight. Well, we
don't what *that* to happen. We all know how expensive healthcare is...
Therefore, the cheap solution, is to simply get my PPL...

Can somebody explain what to do with the files that the aero-matic
script produces?
I entered the small amount of information for a C152, generated the
three files, and modified the propulsion xml names as described on the
webpage. Now what?
I built a c152 directory inside data/aircraft, and
I agree with this completely. I do the same.
I was wondering about an additional feature... Other than recording entire
flights, I've never seen what my own [attempted] landing looked like Would
it be possible to add a feature where the simulation would immediately be paused,
and rewinded
For those of us using FlightGear to supplement our training for a PPL, a Cessna
152 would be a great benefit... Not quite the 747 complexity, but maybe a good
starting point... ;)
I had planned on 172, but my instructor convinced me that it'd be
