Time for my pennies worth....
I'm an instructor and would like to point out that
teaching people to fly that have spent a significant amount of time playing Flight Sims is a complete nightmare. The reasons are two fold:
- They tend to stare at the instruments all the time and getting them to perform any form of lookout is very difficult indeed;
- The major difficulty is that they Know it all already, or at least think that they do!
Yes, this is quite a generalisation and there are exceptions but the above is applicable to the majority... I believe only multi-million pound simulators can truly emulate the fluid-like state of the atmosphere - not a £50 effort from GAME or PC WORLD!
