Default Check Ride in FS2002

I keep trying to take the check ride for my Private Pilot's Licence in
FS2002 but, despite being told that I will have two chances at the steep
turn, I'm told that I have to go back to Ground School before I'm half way
through the turn. The lesson then terminates. Any ideas, anybody?

John,

the instructor tells you to check for other airplanes to your left and
right. If you don't check both ways before doing the steep turn, your
checkride will end.

To do so press the 4 and 6 keys on the numeric keypad before you start to
turn.

John,

the steep turn is a 45 degree bank turn, if you don't turn exactly on a 45
degree bank the checkride will end as well.

I did this checkride in FS2002 and FS2004 and succeded. There are also the
speed that must remain at 100 Knots and altitude that must be stable as
well.

Hope this will help you to complete this checkride.

Not sure about the FS, but I recall my actual PP checkride and FAA wants
you not to have +/- 100 feet drop
during steep turns...make sure that you roll out at the heading you
started at...

Thanks Nadeem
I'm currently practicing steep turns until I can keep within that sort of
parameter.
