That single engine SR22 take off and landing is actually a bit more difficult to learn but there's always a learning curve with anything, you need to gain enough air speed to avoid stalling before you take in the flaps... the F16 is like a sports car, once you can handle the SR22 on take off, then you'll go crazy with the F-16, it handles like a Ferrari, you can roll with it, do anything with it, climb vertically and still accelerate... cruising speed is about 1000 mph, but I like to take it up to 1200 mph when I can... for the F-16, stalling speed is just at 130 mph, so you can fly at a slower speed and just cruise and sight see around the world... just as a quick tip with the flight simulator, you can also land on the water if you can't find a landing strip... I have all my landing strips marked with those pins... and I always add more landing strips when I explore...
Some airport are more difficult to land, I land on those for fun and for improving my handling skills...
For fun, I try to land the F-16 on short runways, this is great landing practice...
With the earlier version of GE, the buildings were still in 3D, so I was able to fly to Paris and fly under the Eiffel Tower or under the Golden Gate Bridge with the SR22... for some odd reason, the pro version has no 3D buildings when using the flight simulator, but now I don't really miss it that much...
Anyhow, enjoy!!!
