update from a note to Tim06:
the sim is 80s technology, a black and white monitor thats very "boxy" and 80s comms/navs. HOWEVER BEFORE YOU POOPOO IT.... it was responsible for 5 hours of pain today of engine outs (I crashed us twice just being stupid) maneuvers, and approaches partial panel with engine failures just short of the #$%$#% final approach fix. Along with that, my instructor now is on " hurry up mode" with everything, so when the [expletive deleted] hits the fan at the FAF I start to sweat. WOOHOO, now thats something MSFS2004 cannot offer!
I am very glad its 6:15 and I can go home and nurse my battle wounds. The fun begins again tomorrow at 9! I don't know how these multi pilots do it, quite a bit more respect.
Other than that, everything is good here, except my instructor keeps insisting on going out to dinner, and has gotten us some free meals around the area (hahaaa, its not what you know, its who ya know?). Coming out of the first week, I am enjoying the program and my instructoer here very much, having loads of fun working my butt off...
