That is really cool. As mentioned before: I have tried it on the Aero and it felt very realistic.

Very interesting.

Has anyone else tried the MT03 simulation on X-plane 8 or 9 ?

It has a pilots-eye view feature which allows you to look around, using the mouse, which helps a lot with location-awareness in the circuit.

The default visual point-of-view settings are not correct, but these can be
re-selected to give a realistic pilots view.

Flare height on landing is an issue, but overall the sim is quite useful.
