Hey guys

Being winter here I haven't been out in a few months so I though I'd get some sim time in. Well I am using Phoenix 4 and flying the new f18 and a model I made up which is close to a nano and I'm finding landings really difficult. How do you guys find landing on the sim vs real life? I think the hardest thing for me is depth perception in 2d as its very hard to judge speed and distance (altitude seems ok). I'm hoping it is generally harder otherwise ill be in trouble come summer!!

Btw I find helis on the sim much closer to the real thing.
I also have phoenix 4 and its crap for jets. They fly nothing like the real thing and will hurt your flying by using it. Its great for helis and teaching my kids but completely sucks for jets. I spent allot of time on the F18 to make it fly like one and its just not right.
