I’ve seen this approach to FS since the first time I bought it for the first time it back in 2000 with a lot of guys.
Cheap joystick, no rudders, fancy for the big airliners.
Take-off, Press AP, manage, 300ft above the destination turn off AP, land (or lets say the truth, hammer it down to the ground). But never “learned” how to fly, how the forces belong together.
Do yourself a favor and have a loot at the Tutorials.
And do the 3 best bushtrips: Balkans, Chile, Nevada.
It will open your eyes.
