Going into the Cessna CT210M Centurion II (affiliate link) is a nice progression if you are coming from the Cessna 172. It adds a bit more complexity to flying as you now have to deal with a bigger plane with more complex systems such as landing gear and Cowl Flaps. Besides this, the aircraft is fast and can go high. It is a definitely a great aircraft to further your flight sim experience. If you love Cessna aircraft, then you will love this one.

Weather menu for X-Plane 11

If you are like me, you may have fallen into the trap of flying with perfect weather. It can be so tempting to make the weather perfect with a few clouds floating around the sky. With perfect weather you are missing out on so many important elements of flight such as wind. Do you think wind always lines up perfectly with the runway.... not a chance. This will add some real challenge to your next landing. Besides being more realistic, there is just something neat about flying in the actual weather that is happening outside. It really connects you to the outside world. Especially if you … [Read more...] about How to Add Real World Weather and Why?
