Top Tips!!
1:Use Flight Simulator 98
Remarkably everybody who learned on it that year ended able to fly instruments very nicely and on a computer that most of you are using as a door stop now.
Use the money you save to keep current in a real aeroplane!!
2: Use any simulator other than MS Flight Sim. Too much eye candy, too many sites for you to wander off to, too many things to download and play with.
CAA examiners now yawn when you mention you can land on an aircraft carrier but they still love to see a nice, unstressed wind corrected hold by a candidate who doesn't have to think about their IF.
A contrarian view but that's just me,
