The pilot tries to do a simple barrel role...

But, he manages to mess it up.

How can he manage to do that you might ask?
Well, it's very simple.
The pilot is ME!

Nice! I like your name

Look at http://www.simviation.com/fshelp.htm under FS2004 you'll find my aerobatics tutorial. Read it Then you should be able to change your name to Good_at_FS

Oh, please don't. I mean, do read the tutorial and do get better at FS, but don't change your nickname and go on posting funny pics like these.  :)

I know its tempting, but seriously start in the shallow end before progressing to the deep. Learn the instruments of the cessna and how to fly it, before working your way up. I spent a couple of hundred hours flying anything and everything, not doing it properly and to be honest what l learnt could have been squeezed into 20 hours of flying. When I knuckled down and started learning properly I made rapid progress and now I can fly reasonably well in most aircraft and understand much of what to do (still have lots to learn mind you ).

The funny part of this is that I'm only bad at flying the planes that come with FS2004. With the add-on jets, all you have to do is put your joystick to the left for 15 seconds and they'll do 10 barrel roles.

Hey, no! I"M the worst FS pilot ever! Can you get into an uncontrolled climb?!

Great name, and welcome to the V.

Same for me.  I spent YEARS in the little birds and now I fly heavies (albeit no FMS or anything).
