July 1, 201213 yr Over the years I've seen many flt simmers take the notion that the things they've learned in the simulation translate to skills developed. In reality they've merely become "skilled" at operating a game. What they've learned are procedures that certainly *can* be used to help develop actual skills during flt training in the real deal, but without an instructor during the simulator time, so many bad habits will also have been "learned" that they will only, just barely, be able fly a real airplane all the way into the crash. :) I have unashamedly stolen and twisted a quote by the legendary Bob Hoover, who actually said, "If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible." \ My kiinda guy.
