The beauty of the Sim is you can try it over and over and crash repeatedly....and at some point call it a day and head for a Pint on wobbly legs!
the IAF lost a Bell 212 (or 412 maybe) after a Pilot had picked up way too heavy a load on the Hoist....and came to our Facility to see if they could replicate the event.
I played with the Lateral CG Parameters to arrive at their calculated data and after about a dozen or so attempts we actually got to where we could fly out of the situation by using some very un-unorthodox control techniques which were quite counter-intuitive.
A large police department aviation unit came to us and wanted to practice autorotations and tail rotor failures at various HOGE heights....and we found that to be very interesting as well.
Whether the actual aircraft would react exactly as the Sim (or conversely....) was not the point of the exercises but determining what actions improved the situation was.
One thing for sure....we could prove certain actions were very bad juju and immediately made certain situations absolutely uncontrollable.
Get back in your box of tricks and experiment.....just do not activate your "Crash Over-Ride" as even a Sim can hurt you if left to its own.
