Hello,
Below is a link to a video showing a complete short flight. The corresponding FSFS logbook is given in PS. A few months ago I opened a topic relative to “lower scores with XP”. I continue thinking it is easier to get better scores with P3D but now I would like to have more explanations about some FSFS comments.
I can’t totally agree with the comment “Poor alignment with runway on visual approach - line up and stay there. [0%]” and especially with the oral comment “You are not aligned with the runway” a few seconds before the landing.
A similar feeling with the comment “Dangerous taxiing turns - these cause discomfort and stress”. There is also a lot of oral comments such as ‘watch your steering” which are not understood,
I hope you will explain me why I’m wrong to consider that these comments are often a bit excessive.
Best regards

Hi:
The issue with runway alignment in the case of this landing is caused by the fact that NAV1 is tuned to a NAVAID and so this is what the instructor is looking at and as we can see shortly before landing the needle is deflected substantially; this is why the instructor is telling the pilot that he or she is not lined up with the runway.
The instructor is saying "watch your steering" on the long straight taxi at the end of the flight and this is a puzzle which we will look into! 
The sharp turns that are made during taxiing after the flight certainly appear to have the potential to be generating large lateral forces and this is something the instructor would prefer that the pilot did not do.
