I've heard some folks say they used the Leer in Flight Sim 2004 to help with the scan as well. Good luck!
I am a dork when it comes to MFS2004. I have been flying the mess out of the CRJ plane. And not the freewhere one, the one that is legit to the real thing. I have the scan down but I am just worried about how sensitive it will be and you can't get used to that in MSFS because I am using a joystick so it is no where near the sim.
As far as the written goes, I suck at the written tests...or at least I would if I didn't study. I have done great on all my FAA writtens but that is cheap because I had the question bank. It probably won't be that bad, but still it worries me. I am actually not that worried about the sim. Not being conceeded but I feel if I make it past the first day I will be golden. I have pretty much made up my mind to study the Gleim Instrument book for the written.
Thank you to everyone for your support, I really appreciate it. If I ever stop in any of your cities I will definatly buy each one of you a beer. (Depending on when I have to fly...haha)
