Hi there,
I’m glad you are seeing an improvement with your progress after getting the current version of VFR.
In terms of lesson 4, you need to perform an Overhead Join at Matamata, which has an associated diagram in the manual to show exactly what to do. This is then retold by your instructor inflight and shown on screen by the objectives panel and visual markers.
I could suggest that you read that section of the manual and make sure to have the objectives panel displayed, that way you get every possible form of direction available in the sim currently, plus the included diagrams.
The concepts in IFR, VFR and Jetliner are more complex and authentic than the default tutorials, as they are a more advanced level of flying, much more closely resembling the real flying lessons I went through for my PPL, IR, CPL and ATPL.
As with any complex subject, you’ll get there with practice and study, and will reap the rewards.
