Finally !

At great long last.  I started the conversion from FSX to FS2020 last December (2024), when I bought a curved monitor for a new flight sim setup.  The new computer and other peripherals came along during the Spring and I was flying (after a fashion) by early summer.  I finally completed and logged (via SPAACARs) my first successful, cold and dark start, end-to-end flight (KORD_KMSP) in the PMDG 737-800 today, roughly nine months after I started.  It wasn't perfect, but I got it down with an acceptable vertical landing rate and didn't use all of MSP RWY30R getting it stopped.  I can see why the 737 takes a crew of two.  It's all uphill from here.
