No you won't go blind. You'll probably have some difficulties seeing straight and talking will also become harder.

Why would it be hard to keep a small baron at 120? I can keep my DC-3 at 100 (or slower) without any problem.

It was a nice flight today lads. Too bad only two people crashed into me today. Maybe tomorrow all of you can take a try?

Easy to keep a Baron at 120! Not so easy to get my DC-3 (with engine troubles) over a large hill! Grin

My Mooney Bravo passed over that hill nicely. Someone crashed me when I was landing on the 2nd airport. But it was a great flight

Tee-Hee...

Have a peek at the Relief Map at the top of the Thread and note the VERY BIG HILL between A22 and A24.
This VERY BIG HILL suddenly appears directly in front of the Pilot immediately after leaving A22 and towers up into the Stratosphere (or so it seems!)... Shocked

Shocked

...!

My Trusty Beech Baron Twin needed a climb rate setting of 2,500+ feet per minute to clear it....(at a constant air speed).
...a lesser ~~mortal~~ light aircraft wouldn't have made it...(which some of them didn't!).... Cry

Cry

Another good reason for taking my powerful Beech Baron Twin in all the Sim V Tours...(An excellent "all-rounder!")... Wink
