I agree that this is a wonderful program.  No IBM PC owner should
be without it.   However, the it does have it's quirks.  The first 
version would do wonderful rolls, but wouldn't loop.  Also, it got
confused if you rolled inverted.  For a fast way to gain a lot of
altitude, roll inverted and start clicking in down elevator.  Most
parts of the simulator seemed to understand that you were going up,
but somewhere it gets confused, thinks you're going down, and pegs
the airspeed indicator up at 200 knots.  I have no idea whether this
has been fixed in FSII.
