I have been flying with flight simulator since I had my Commodore 64, and over the years, I've gained a pretty high opinion of myself as a
virtual pilot. I've even flown for real from start up to shutdown and did very, very well according to the instructor (Intro flight).
So I've owned FSPassengers for about a week and a half, have accumulated over 11 hours in the cockpit and I'm finally figuring out how
to not lose pilot points on a flight. Apparently I must do a little too much
when I fly or something.
I am constantly forgetting to
operate the lights when passing 10,000', or set flaps for take-off, or shut the stupid door before taking off!
The funny thing is, I rarely
if ever forgot this stuff before I had FSPassengers! Now that I'm flying with "someone" watching over my shoulder, I think I get nervous
and just start forgetting these things. But finally, my last 3 flights have been perfect and I'm almost out of the negative numbers in pilots
points.
In short, thanks for an outstanding add-on Dan, it's already making me a better pilot!
