During my primary training the biggest difficulty I had was sensing the
proper hight above runway where to begin the flare. I was really stuck there
for almost a month, either flaring too high, or landing flat. My instructor
was pretty much desperate, and I started thinking that I'm perhaps lacking
some physical ability to do that right.
What I did was, I set up MSFS with a projector and a wall-mounted screen in
my room, put the projector far enough to get the image of the exact 1:1
scale of what I see out of cockpit, and set up the plane on a very short
final, perhaps 10-12 seconds before touchdown. I was then practicing
the flare with this setup; I did around fifteen hundred flares in one week.
That helped me tremendously. I'm pretty sure that probably there were
other ways to break this plateau I had, but this one worked for me. I hardly
ever fired MSFS ever since, I got so sick of it

part of that opinion by not including that I see no objection at all to
the sim being used BEFORE dual commences as well as after solo, so the
actual envelope I have always stressed constitutes ommission of the
simulator between the first hour of dual instruction and solo. After
solo, the sim can again be used and has specific advantages.
