I thought the object of flight simulators was to keep it in the air until time to land safely. Has that changed in 2020?

I'm digging the live weather feature. I took off from Fort Myers this morning, headed South East toward Tropical Storm Laura. Took about 8 hours total to get there and fly through it, but I got to experience the whole thing. Varied my altitude from high to low to high so I could fly through the various storm parts. It never got too ridiculous, but the plane did bounce around and I had rain on the windscreen.
Now I'm going to be an amateur hurricane hunter the rest of the season. I plan on flying into them as they come up. Gonna pick a faster plane once I learn how to fly those. I'm still struggling with the jetliners. I really need the yoke, pedals and the 3rd device. Keyboard ain't cutting it. The attached PDF chronicles the adventure. |

I still suck big time at flying. Very hard with a keyboard. No airsickness experienced.
Looking forward to learning. Currently at 37,000 feet in an A320 flying to Las Vegas to see my mom. Gonna let the co-pilot land it. |

I dug out a old XP system and was going to try to see if it had flightsim on it, I had it years ago on one of my computers. It was acting up last time I used it. Today it would not boot up, I took off the cover and saw smoke. So I tried another old one I had. it locks up and the mouse and KB don't respond. I may get a newer system soon since this HP is several years old too.

No dear, I multi-tasked on my 18 monitors and had the sim in 1 of them, while logged 10 hours on my client project. Flight sim works for me because when you achieve stable flight, it flies itself. You just have to monitor it.
Plane flies on 1 monitor, I work on the rest. |

We know how they roll in Florida....flight schools teach how to take off and fly, but not to land.
