The Flight School Feature in X-Plane 11

X-Plane 11 includes a Flight School feature, which is perfect for beginners to learn the basics of flight. For General Aviation, there are courses for Takeoff/Landing/Traffic Pattern using the Cessna 172. They are very easy to understand and beginner-friendly, highly recommended. Additionally, the system scores your performance (out of 100) based on your flight path after each practice. Evaluation items include maintaining a climb speed of 75 knots, the degree of deviation from the Runway centerline during landing, landing roll distance, and so on.

I tried flying the courses mentioned above.

Although my hardware setup isn’t fully adjusted yet, I scored 95 on Takeoff, 96 on Landing, and 89 on Traffic Pattern. It doesn’t seem too difficult, and my scores are passable, I guess.
