Lately the hardest part of jumping into flight gaming has been the mess of keybinds and tutorials that assume you already know the jargon. Goals are casual fun, not full simulation mastery. Prefer keyboard or gamepad, low stress, and a way to learn by doing. If there’s a path that turns an hour in the evening into real progress, plus a few bite-size challenges that feel rewarding, that’s exactly what I need right now.

Small routines appeal to me as well, especially the “one new concept per evening” idea. Short circuits with good weather settings should keep the learning curve gentle. A trimmed control list is great for a gamepad player who doesn’t want to pause every minute. Going to follow this structure and see how it changes the feel of the sessions over a few days.
Good news, you don’t need a full sim pit to enjoy this. Start with the default controls, then trim the clutter by mapping only throttle up/down, yaw, pitch, roll, flaps, and gear. Run three loops each session: taxi → takeoff → circuit → landing. Mid-session, open this hub — https://avia-masters.ca/ because it has beginner-friendly checklists, simple mission templates, and advice on tuning sensitivity so your gamepad isn’t twitchy. After reviewing that, practice in clear weather and daylight until your landings feel smooth. Add one new concept per evening (like trim or basic navigation). By week’s end you’ll have repeatable habits and far less confusion.
