Hi again,
All conventional airplanes feel the affects of adverse yaw to some extent, but most larger airplanes do have a yaw damper system to counter it when the flaps are extended.

Just noticed - pity I didn't spell aileron correctly - hate that!!

Yes, I agree with your comments, but its not entirely that, its also the relaxed atmosphere in the flight deck with a professional FE aboard, it makes for an entirely different conversational tone than talking to the CRT screens, especially when you know you can't really trust the response.
Your always thinking - did the software programmers cover every conceivable outcome (knowing they didn't), and there's no common sense check built in!!

There's absolutely no comparison to talking with an experienced, professional FE,(or having him loudly mention something you've just forgotten (or missed), with still enough time left to correct the problem!!!

Cheers
