Lesson number four frustrations!

Wishlist

.

I have vigorously been using MSFS 2024 for over a year. I am a 73-year-old noob. I love the way you do the presentations and your graphics are exceptional. I gave you / /a big shout out to the Forum at MSFS 2024 when I found your site and many people have gone there since. However, I have one issue to complain about. It has to do with lesson number four, “Climbs and Descents”. For someone with my level of understanding and command of the Cessna 172 it is completely overwhelming. It is my opinion you packed far TOO much into that lesson. My suggestion would be to make one lesson for Climbs and one for Descents. Otherwise, I am trying to keep six Maneuvers in my head and it is overwhelming and extremely frustrating. I have tried this lesson over 20 times and I’m getting close to achieving the goal. I don 't want you to think I am stupid for I scored at the 94th percentile on the the medical board exams throughout the USA.

Hi Frank,

Thank you for your post. I’m glad you are overall enjoying Navigraph Academy!

I agree with you regarding the criticism of lesson 4. We have unfortunately learnt in retrospect that the lesson was a bit too packed. There is some obstacles to splitting up the lessons into more now that we have already launched, but your feedback goes into our decision process certainly. I hope you’ll be able to pass soon and that the rest of the experience will prove less frustrating.

Please let me and the others know if there’s anything else we can do for you. Happy flying!

Best regards
Martin Trankell

Dear sir, thank you for taking the time to read my comments and giving them some credence. I love your sight but lesson four has had me bogged down for nearly two weeks. I am discouraged because I never receive the word failed next to my name. So it hurts. I hope that you can work out some way to shorten the lesson in a way that you think is most appropriate. I do love your sight and I am on it daily.

Kind regards,

Thank you kindly Martin. I really appreciate your comments and I still love Navigraph just very frustrated when things do not work. I tend to be something of a super achiever. I learned my work ethic from my dear father (God bless him). So…I have NEVER seen the word “failed” by my name until now. That hurts especially when I know I did the exercise correctly.

Kind regards,

Dr. Frank

PS I will keep you in the loop.
