All true--but does anyone have a better Cessna 172 than the one included
with FS X? I'm instrument rated and like using the program to practice
approaches; my wife is working on her instrument rating and is doing the
same. The 172 included is so pitch sensitive we both have a hard time
with it. Or perhaps we're setting our yoke wrong in some way, but I
haven't been able to figure it out.

Hello everyone. I've been hanging out in the MS Flight Simulator group
for a while, enjoying my recently found interest in aviation such that
my means would allow. MSFS is a fine product, even though it doesn't
compare to the real thing, of course.

Yesterday for my 40th birthday my most excellent wife bought me flying
lessons and membership in the flying club at a local airport.

I look forward to hanging out with you folks and hopefully learning a
thing or 2(00...000).

AWESOME! Welcome to the group.

I spent many an hour flying MSFS. While you'll never learn to land in
there, start playing with the VOR and instrument navigation (if you haven't
already). You can learn TONS at penny's per hour that way.

I'm still mid-PPL training myself. Just got my medical straightend back out.
Take a look at my road from 0 hours till now at http://n1451f.blogspot.com

Have FUN!
