It was always fun to see how the course drawn by the plotter compared to what you were trying to fly, especially in “bad weather”.,(reply>), Same.  Although I could maintain altitude and level flight for the half hour or so of "flight" time I got, and could make turns as directed, I didn't have the training to even attempt navigation.,(reply>), Same for me! I couldn’t stay straight at all!,(reply>), me to i was in the ATC i spent lot of hours in it
