Thanks Nelson and Keith.

I will certainly start with the three V ratings, no question. I just wanted to have fun in the FlyJSim plane offline, as it is my first plane without FMC... I was genuinely going to throw in the towel guys, as it was a rough experience getting used to relying on VORs... I honestly felt like I achieved something GREAT getting the flight done correctly :D

Now the fun may begin :D I'm about to practice the first VFR rating, offline ofcourse, I'm going through the learning materials now :D

Thanks again guys, this is awesome, the smallest of things I learn genuinely get me jumping up and down with joy.
Warmest Regards

Taymas, that's good to hear, just be aware that practicing offline is going to be of limited value. Most of the flights involve lots of comms, vectors and dynamic events. Those will be missing if you fly offline and you're basically left with simply practicing course tracking and interception. Those are rarely the hard parts of the flight, although it is an important skill.
