i am just getting into flying and i bought a plane and a simulator. I am wondering if landing a plane in real life is easier than the simulator, because for some reason the plane is hard to see in the sim, and it doesn't really slow down enough to make a great landing?[:@]
Welcome to the hobby, jlobster88. You are getting good stick time, with the sim, and you will never regret it. All those things you pick up on, apply to flying at the field, in the same way.
Even landing can be mastered, on the sim. You may need to find extra viewing features to make it easier at first, but soon you will be allowing plenty of time for the plane to slow down and land. Keep at it, both flying and landing skills.
Good luck!
