Haha good read.
Tbh playing without the AFO is less realistic anyways. No need to feel bad to begin with for using him.
I remember those FSX days, where most airliners a fordable for me then used the simple GPS.
had a funny momend in DCS learning Case 3 and fly like a 10nm radial, untill it dawned on me it is nothing different then a normal VOR type of flying.
Oh well, as they say, never too late to learn.
Just don’t tell me you are bald as well. That would be scary
