Alright, Illinois is in Champaign-Urbana, and that is where Frasca is based so they decided to sink a bunch of money into Frasca sims. (No opinion either way.) As jetplayer said, level D "Yeah," anything else "Ney." That is also what I was told too, so it is probably true. As far as the 50 hours go, thats messed up and I agree with you. If its good enough to get you a rating why not TT? Imagine that, somthing governed by the FAA, is hard to understand, has a lot of grey area, and makes no sense!
