I wasn't trying to be nasty and sarcastic, and I wish this guy loads of luck. I haven't even finished my PPL yet, but I am trained enough to know that Bill Gates version of a plane leaves a lot to be desired. I cannot comment about the jets etc, but as for the Cessna 172, I do know about it.

The flight sim model has some glaring omissions, including a lack of ablitlty to enter an incipient spin, any kind of stall is simple, with no secondry stall either. Some of the strips aren't 100% accurate either. And some of the instruments don't perform as you would expect ( balance ball/turn co-ordinator for example).

Whilst I admit that this is a game and nothing more, some people seem to regard it as gospel, and assume that the aircraft will fly like that in real life. (Look at the instructors forum under funnies)

I wishs this guy all the luck in the world though
