I appreciate your videos a lot. Started watching them right as I got MSFS and am still watching at 14 hours into my PPL. Can you do a favour though, can you show your rudder sensitity settings or do a video on how you've got your control surfaces setup?
Personally I find an above average number of my landings are steep approaches in the sim due to the close proximity of trees to the ends of a lot of the runways in the game. It's been quite some time since I've piloted a plane irl but I don't recall landing anywhere that had trees as close to the end of the runway as I experience in the sim. I'm not saying those kinds of runways don't exist but their number seem grossly over exaggerated in the sim.
There used to be a few mods that reduced the tree density / tree heights globally. I guess they haven't been updated in a long time but they might still work.
Usually I ignore those white/red lights next to the runway. If there's plenty of runway and no obstacles nearby, I'll land it anyway at some point. However, at Hachijojima, there's some trees right before the treshold and the runway is not that long. So now I paid extra attention and for the first time playing MSFS 2020, I flew the entire glideslop correctly. I had to, or else I crash right in front of the runway or I land way too late. In most other landing attempts at different places, I just fly in (too) low, at just above stall speed and when I'm over the runway, I stall the plane at the lowest altitude. I really dislike these single plane Cessnas. Whenever I try to flare, most times it will launch me back into the air again. In contrast, 747 is a joy to fly and land, while the F-18 Super Hornet is like a guided missile with wings. You can get out of any situation simply by applying maximum thrust + afterburner, instead of stalling all the time, which is what those single prop flying coffins do.
I use a mod called "Shift Z" that lets you define a little text readout in the corner of the screen with a variety of data. I usually just keep it simple with Winds, Temps, Baro, and frame rate.

What's the significance of the number 64 to you?

great stuff thanks
I hit 1.4 Million points on msfs Curent global challenge with a propeer aproach ... so fun :D Its around 2700 in the rank 😝🙃
no 3 is more difficult in msfs thanks to the bugs with windsocks and atc!
