A in program flight school would be great!

As my father retired he was given MSFS as a present. At about the same
time I've installed him FGFS.

Although he(*) is very open to FGFS he started with MSFS only, because
he wanted to learn to fly properly first (he did fly gliders a *long*
time ago so he wouldn't realy need to). And, I have to admit, the MSFS
does have a great flight school (with a few bugs, but that's just
Microsoft, I guess...).

So if we had a school at that time we could have one more customer...

The school works by simulating an instructor who speaks (via voice and
text) to the "student". He first flys a lesson and then let the student
fly exactly the same commenting everything that goes well and that goes bad.

CU,
Christian

(*) he is that type of person who reads the manuals first, before he
touches anything... Out of that perspective FGFS isn't optimal: all the
documentation (there's a lot now) is spread over a few places.
