......I couldn't fly a full minute without a simulated crash. I couldn't find the runway. Really disapointing....................Nothing changed on the PC. I'm better on the real field.........

Agreed, I thought it was just me. I'm much better at the field than on the sim.... Still that's not saying much.

The sim teaches you orientation and is a good tool to learn basic control of a new maneuvers ( knife edges, hovering, inverted, flat spins, etc. ) But what's on the sim just vaguely represents reality.
