Dennis,
Were not trying to discurage you,some of us started flying back before the Sims came on the market.

Find or Barrow a Sim and try it.You won't get ridiculed and told what your doing wrong on a sim when your there by your self.You will learn from for mistakes and it wont cost you a thing.

Wouldnt you like to go to a near by club field where you would be unknown and get your plane up in the air and land sussesfully.Its better then crashing and watching them say I told you so.

Some of us have been there were just trying to save you some aggervation and imbarrisment.

The sim is a training tool and you cant turn it down.
