No I think what our man was saying was that the layout in the sim is different to that on the aircraft.
Considering you do your test in the aircraft and 40 hour sin the sim, there is a fair amount of 'unlearning' to do.
I also agree regarding the sims.
I spoke to a mechtronix engineer on the quite once who informed me that they tested them over quite a boozy weekend and oxford couldn't wait to sign the acceptance to start earning on them.
Fact is, they are a procedure trainer and in that they are OK. They handle nothing the real thing and the feedback is terrible. It crashed on me several times and they didn't charge me for that, but I couldn't log it as training. Oh Well.
My IR took a month longer than anticipated and there were people ina worse boat than me. Just had an instructor who wouldn't lay over for anyone.
