Flight Simulator Upgrade

C152 Cockpit (simulator)
I just installed a Cessna 152 into my flight sim software (FSX) and I got my USB rudder pedal controller to work properly (finally!). Now I can practice with a plane that is almost exactly like the C-150's I've been flying for realz. The pedals controller has differential brakes, so taxiing is much more realistic. The 152's cockpit layout is just like the 150's, so my check list practice is also much better (no more fudging around the minor differences). I just wrapped up a brief sim. flight and it works great!

Next lesson is scheduled for 10:00am tomorrow morning (the time may be pushed back if it's too cold). The first class of ground school is later the same evening.
