I fully appreciate in IMC conditions you
use your instruments fully and don't rely on what you can/cannot see
outside.

Sensations are largely useless in VMC, too. They are not any more
reliable
just because visibility is good. The reality is that you depend upon your
eyes in VMC. Close your eyes and fly by the seat of your pants alone, and
you'll be in trouble soon enough.

A big question asked by both myself
and MX is have those on here who have tried MSFS done it with good
quality commercial addon aircraft which are COMPLETELY different to
that which comes as standard on an FSX installation.

I seriously doubt it.

The default 747
is total **** and a kid could operate it compared to the highly
complex PMDG models.

It took me about two hours to figure out how to start a 737 with the PMDG
model. Most of that time was spent reading manuals. Fortunately, now I
can
do it from memory, most of the time (the 747, 767, and 737 all have
differences that can get confusing, so I have to fly them all periodically
to
maintain some semblance of currency).

Damn you're delusional.
