As someone who's flown a simulator with little wooden houses going by on a huge conveyor belt, I suppose I'm predisposed to doubt the purity of even the latest simulation, despite electronics being one of the strings to my bow.
The box they're in obviously doesn't have a long cable run, and if there is any use made of steel cable, it must be loaded by a simulation device. Okay, doable, but here's the rub. If Boeing produce an aircraft that can allow a vital control surface to be impossible to move, how the Dickens can a simulator manufacturer program a valid reality from such incomplete information?
