I do hope some where this conversation took place over a couple of pints. Simulators are only as good as the folks programing the box. Not the real this and as close as it does get it is still simulated. Real world experience, L1011, 747, 727, DC 9, MD 90, 777, A-300, A320, and my favorite a Cub once off the ground tend to track into the prevailing wind. The most work was always the Cub, tricycle gear never a problem.
