Re: Instructions for Default X-plane aircraft?

Thanks for the pointers. That has helped a lot. I had just gotten "stuck". But now I've made some great strides. I'm now getting ready to try my V-03 in the Cirrus Jet.

Re: Never again on PE - share your mistakes

I just finished my V-2 exam. The first time didn't go so well--I entered the pattern at Chino instead of Ontario!
