Nothing wierd about that, that's the correct way to fly an aeroplane in normal circumstances. If you ever get taught to fly a Cessna in real life, they teach you that way.

Yea, but if like a lot of us one starts "flying" in flight sims (especially if, like most, you start with simpler flight games first), you really do get used to pointing your nose up and down all over the place :p

Realistically speaking, I can't see how one can really be sure to land a plane properly without knowing that
