Do real pilots make good sim pilots?

Greetings forum!Often the question is asked: "Does being an experienced sim pilot make it easier to become a real pilot?" I'd like to turn the question upside down: "Does being a real pilot make it easier to become a sim pilot?"As for myself: yes, it did. Due to initially financial and later on medical conditions I haven't piloted a real aircraft in over 25 years, and my experience was very limited to begin with. Yet these limited and half forgotten experiences have definitely been very helpful, when after FS2002 hit the market I finally decided to give simming a go. What do others think? Be, stay, live and think well!Jaap Verduijn.
