Hudson - You might call me a "Shakespearean Director", but my aim is not to "nail some poor bastard to the wall"!
For my well qualified and experienced customers who know well how to fly the aircraft, I and they, enjoy exploring difficult situations involving a real-life, but intensified, combination of aircraft problems and what we might call LOFT type problems.
For my junior and inexperienced people, I stick to "how best to fly the a/c or deal with the malfunction".
And that would be my point: The sim is flexible enough that the TRAINING it offers can be adapted to the individual using it. Sim instructors should be (and in my experience usually are) creative and imaginative with the training they offer.
