Today in Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Acceleration I attempted the Red Bull Istanbul course. It was extremely challenging! I found that managing the engine was not nearly as difficult as the Reno Air Race in the Mustang, but in the Extra 300 the problem I encountered most was keeping enough power on to keep from stalling or going into a spin. After numerous attempts at the course and going into the drink nearly every time, I finally made several runs in which I was able to get through most of the course. On the final attempt I finally finished all 8 laps in one piece, although I was a full minute behind the race leader. I guess I need a little more practice!
