The reason there is not a good KR or KR2S for Microsoft Flight Simulator is
because of the way the program itself works.
In Microsoft, the programmer tells the aircraft how it should fly, but of

When I drive to the Gathering it takes about 3-1/2 hours of Interstate driving

only took 1-1/4 hours and was over all to soon. Keep building guys.
