>> Does anyone have any feedback, positive or negative on the 737-200 sim and preparation course at Realsimulation?

Not personally, but I guy I know who went there for practice prior to a Thomsonfly 737-300 assessment last year said it was counter-productive. He said the instruments were not synchronised... descending on the glideslope at 700-800fpm on the altimeter, the VSI showed 300fpm.

It's a generic sim, not a real Boeing one. I don't believe it has any CAA certification and is only used for fun/practice, not for type-rating or recurrent training.

I've heard much more favourable reports of the Simtech 737-200 in Dublin, and the 727-200 in Bournemouth.
