I have to agree with all the posts, I completed my MCC at BCFT with Tony and had a hoot, but most of all I learned a lot, ok the for's and against the sim is a personal choice but having to do it again I would do it in that sim providing the instruction was as good. The difference at the time to a generic FNPT11 was £300 so for me it was a no brainer and proved to be a good choice.
The one thing that this Sim did for you was to improve your team working skills at a higher or should I say smoother rate due to the sheer speed and rates of the sim as opposed to the generic prop otherwise no added complexities were above what you see in a generic sim.
You did get to complete some hand flying which was good, the LOFT route was excellent as was the Missed approach in LHR and divert to Gatwick, the de-compression part was very realistic as were the windshear programs that were added. it all happens quickly and a very serious course but what fun.
