the plane for level flight in FS9, I use the autopilot now. At first, I disliked the decision of Microsim to incorporate this<br />
unrealistic feature, but on this uneventful haul it proves wise. East of Edwards, we turn south aiming at 3500 ft. and<br />
eventually west to capture the ILS 224 radial on final.<br />
Jet penetration here takes use of the speedbrake. Pic18 here After trimming the plane to 140 knots, I apply 50% flaps. A<br />
few minutes later, the outer marker comes alive. Approach speed on final with geas down and 80% rpm and we're now at<br />
100 knots. I am slightly below the GS and the airfield is in sight. Applying a little more thrust for a few seconds brings me<br />
back on the slope and we touch down at 100 knots. My instructor nods satisfied: Passed! Piece of cake.<br />
Conclusion<br />
Microsim’s <strong>T37</strong> appears to be quite a unique blend between shear, glowing enthusiasm and professionalism. Given the price<br />
drop of many other FS9 add-on aircraft, $30 is a lot of money for a single jet trainer with a few liveries and an apparent total<br />
lack of support. On the other hand, there is the outstanding manual and the very detailed plane with a high immersion<br />
factor. And, above all, as you’d expect from the real plane, it is a joy to fly.<br />
So I did not regret spending my money on it, and I am quite sure I will be flying it for some time in the future.<br />
