So I just got myself a copy of FSX, I have no experience what so ever of flying or flight sims so as you can imagine results so far have been, err... interesting. I did the first 'mission' which is to take off and land in a straight line, which was easy enough. But the second mission is driving me mad. Basically all I have to do is fly through some gates in a straight decent then land. I must have attempted this about 100 times and so far my best result has been getting as far as the 4th gate then stacking it vertically nose first into a hill
On most of my attempts I have completely missed the first gate and given up, often ending up spinning around in a circle. I think my problem is that I just can't get used to the huge lag between doing something and it taking effect. Like with the first gate there is a tiny bit of wind that blows me of course and I always end up overcompensating and either going off in totally the wrong direction or spinning around. Alternatively I try using the controls minimally and end up getting blown of course anyway... ARRHH, I swear this game is driving me insane.
So I got bored of that mission and though I would have a go in a jet, which resulted in this...

I was kind if hoping it would be engulfed in a huge fireball, but no such luck
Anyway can any flight sim experts give me some tips before I lose my sanity to this game.
