This is the first time ANY consumer-priced software has EVER gotten this certification

Notice the way he takes his out, consumer-priced. It's not the first plain and simple, you've been sucked in by Austin. I like the software, I own it, and that's how I know it does not handle like a real plane. The 172 does not fly like any 172 I've ever flown, the C150 does not even come close to how a real one flies.

Look into Elite, it's been around for over a decade and certifed for training purposes. Are you kidding me that you honestly believe Austin has the first out? Not by a long shot.

Keep in mind I like his flight model the best of any out there, and I own them all. But not one of them is realistic when it comes to landing and handling a crosswind, not one.
