I did not think you were critical. All good points you made. I also thought it was "different" but in good ways. The Avistars and Superstars are also good trainers. This one just goes that extra mile that none before ever have. As an experienced pilot I personally need to dial the gain down so the correcting is gone. That makes it feel what we consider to be "normal".

If you have not done so you should try stalling the plane. It is really hard. The low speed flight is awesome. You can just putter around with those speed brakes on and 1/8th throttle. It is quite relaxing.

You can check out the beginner forum as I believe there are more discussions on this new trainer in there and more feedback.
