B.L.E. and samolot, I hope your explanations are due to bad word usage and not what you belive as how an airplane flies, with advice like that, we are going to totally confuse the guy. As for the the simulator, find somebody who can set it up right for you so your sure its you and not the simulator thats causing the problems. As said previous, spend as much time with your instructor as possible and be patient, learning to fly even a trainer can take an entire summer sometimes.
