I have thousands of hours in all of the MSFS versions over the years and I have never had as much trouble controlling the airplane when trying to land. I don't know if the controls are too sensitive or the wind effects while landing are exaggerated. When I try to yaw left or right the I almost lose control of the aircraft and the same thing happens with pitch. My questions are:

 

Am I the only one having this problem?

Does anyone know what is causing this?

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks form a frustrated computer pilot.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

If you let AI take over, it flies very very inefficiently. If you go into showcase mode, that is AI control.

 

Thanks. I'll try that for the long boring parts of the flight. Do I have to get the plane up to cruising altitude before I engage the AI?

In Microsoft Flight Simulator X there was a cockpit view where your forward view had only a few of the gauges displayed and none of the cockpit. It was a great view for sight seeing and also for landing. Is this view still available in MSFS 2020?

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the stated ranges for most of the aircraft are incorrect especially the jets and airliners? I attempted a flight from Orlando to Frankfurt, Germany in the 787 which has a range of over 8,000 nautical miles. The flight is a little over 4,000 miles. I topped off the fuel tanks. I climbed to cruise altitude and selected cruise speed and ran low on fuel before I arrived in Frankfurt. I have also noticed that both Cessna jets can't fly anywhere near their stated ranges. maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
