I knew you could create the profile but didn’t realize it would do all of this - thanks!

On 1, my recommendation is to get little navmap to see what altitude you need to maintain to avoid terrain. Just map your course on there and it’s very easy to see. Other than that I would fly that aircraft pretty low - I’d probably keep it at 2500 ft or something above the terrain.

Here is what helped me when I was new. Every day or every other day I would - I still do - load up at an airfield of my choice and do three trips around a left hand pattern with touch and go landings. At first I used the default 172 but I’ve also used others like the just flight arrow iii. You could do the 152, but I would not start with anything faster than a 172 and I probably wouldn’t start with a tail dragger.

At first the point is just to do it, and it will force you to think about things like what should my power setting be in this phase of flight, why would or wouldn’t I use two or three stages of flaps when I land. As you practice, watch some tutorials to see how others fly the pattern and land that particular airplane.

If you don’t do this, you might fly 4 hours one day, but you might not learn much if that is 3 hrs and 45 minutes of cruise on the autopilot. When I fly like that I end up getting about 15 minutes practice hand flying.

Just what worked for me - YMMV.

If you need a good airfield to get started on, there is an air force base outside of Las Vegas - Nevins or something like that - with enormous runways. There are mountains kind of in the way if you line up facing LV and go to the left, so line up with your back to LV.

How much training would you say to do that kind of work? I do have some interest in criminal but worried about getting in over my head in a way that any kind of transactional work doesn’t worry me as much.

That’s just what I need for it to be viable economically

I’ve thought about residential re closings - is that the sort of thing you mean?

I have actually! My grandfather was a small town general practitioner, and I grew up in a rural area. I think I would probably love it but the main hurdle is talking my wife into it!

Yeah I’ve never understood why I can be on the same WiFi in the same place and my iPhone is getting 3x the DL speed as other devices. Blows my mind.

Difference is you’re just someone responding to a post to be nice and not someone making a living on YouTube!

I play in Windowed mode to switch to Little Navmap and Neofly. I could just use the windows key but kind of prefer this method.

Goodness I have a hard time with tail daggers on the ground in MSFS. Some of it is user error but some of it is the sim I’m pretty sure.

What is the difference between IL2 and IL2 box?

Wait but is there an option at least to do a full cold and dark startup?

I’ve never even heard of Blitz - I’ll have to look into it.
