OK! So I’ve spent a couple of days doing the VFR training. Yes it is better, and thats bracketed better. Lessons 1-3 NP. VFR 4 still horrible. Once around the Matamata airport if you don’t get the instructions just right then you just going and going, getting told hold 1200ft until base turn, stick to this heading then all the signage for the airport disappears, now you’re left floundering more.
This is supposed to be fun, I am not having fun, this lesson is overly complicated for what its trying to teach. Perhaps chose a different airport, with proper runway markings that are visible from some distance out, a less squirrelly aeroplane, then you would not create so much anxiety for something that is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. If this is supposed to be teaching new folks to flying, I’m certain this is not how you do it.
I don’t have these issues with the built in MSFS basic training lessons, so am baffled why this gives me so much grief.
Honestly, at this point I can not in good faith or conscience recommend this course. I am going to abandon VFR 4 and see if I can continue with the other lessons, at least try and salvage something out of the other lessons.
Rant over!!
