For VFR flying in MSFS, you need Track-IR imo - No point trying without!
I'm a brand new PPL and I've not landed at many places, but in no wind I was taught to turn when the furthest corner of the runway lines up with the nearest corner. With wind you turn a little before this point or a little after, depending on direction.
It works where I've flown, and it works in MSFS (With your Track-IR!). I guess as I step out I may well need to get a more sophisticated method and there's some very useful info in this thread. Thanks guys.
