The weird thing about the broken clouds was that I felt like I was
going too fast and I kept glancing at my airspeed indicator more so

what I was taught.
I find it much easier in solid IMC then partly cloudy conditions. Like
you
Marco, I feel the speed, and the variation of colors outside my windows
adds to distraction, so I just do everything I can to keep my eyes
inside
the plane.

Oh jeeze - proofread...
My very first time flying into IMC conditions was during a PP training
flight, when my instructor agreed to let me see what it was light to
^^^^^ like
shoot an ILS approach back into our home airport.
We were over a status layer, and approaching a wall of cloud. It looked
^^^^^^ stratus
like we were going to crash into it. The instructor told me that, to
reduce the potential for disorientation, I should switch my gaze to the
inside of the cockpit before we reach the clouds.
I basically told him to get bent - this was the first time I'd ever
seen this, and I was going to watch! ;-)
I looked great, by the way.
"It" looked great? Our did you "look mauvelos" (ala "Fernando")
