For those of us that have reserved sim time at the UA simulator farm at the Denver conference:Regardless of the a/c we get to "fly" there, I wonder what our reactions will be when we return to FS?- Will the experience make us favor that particular aircraft (having now actually almost really flown one) in FS?- Will we try flying that particular aircraft only to get frustrated at the limitations of a non-motion 2D desktop sim, and never use that aircraft again?How do you all think this experience might change us? :)Food for thought...Bruce.

The "problematic" thing was that I had problems finding levers, switches and such without looking. This lead to a lot of heads-down time. On the other hand I had a real captain to order around so I didn
