Well Steve, to be honest the plane I fly in the field is not exactly the same as the one I fly in Reflex AND I tend to setup the simulator (wind, thermals, landscape, engine felure etc...) in a way which makes it more difficult to fly than in the club's field, so I can be sure I am well prepared (better safe than sorry!) . This may be the reason for saying Reflex is a bit more difficult than the real thing.

Nevertheless, the point is that Reflex is extremely REAL.
