Default MS Flight Sim As a Training Tool

I shot a full approach into Cedar Rapids (CID) terminating in an ILS to
Rwy 9 at minimums. By the time I broke out, after flying the published
procedure, I was sweating! This thing was just plain as real as it gets,
and (in my rusty, haven't practiced instrument flight in a long
while) I was working my butt off.


Yep. I often shoot practice approaches on FS2004 before doing the exact
approaches in the actual airplane, or if the weather isn't complaint
(Columbia Gorge winds, usually) and I have to cancel a practice flight.
