I breezed through the PilApt testing, especially the joystick control tests, and I put that down squarely to playing flight sim "games". While it's highly debatable that they help much, if at all, in leanring to fly real aircraft, they certainly do teach you to read instruments, navigate and control the "aircraft" at the same time. (Plus you've got the occasional Mig on your tail to deal with also!)
