Simulator Training before IR(R) revalidation

[Cusco]

Simulators for IR(R), eh?

I guess it depends on your age and familiarity with computers/MS flightsim.: I blew the whole of my IR (sic) budget trying to get to terms with a crap FNTP 2 sim which kept breaking down and even caught fire.

I realised that my body could not cope with seeing the AH banking when I knew damn well I wasn't moving.

Eventually told FBO to forget it.

Did the whole training in an aeroplane. Never looked back: Reval practice one hour airborne with an instructor.

So, If you are of a certain age forget sims.

Edit: Yep see below I used RANT extensively but without a joystick,(gave it all to No. 1 grandson) and just using the laptop keys is a bit of a blunt tool for real procedural precision.Still,; better than nothing
