Off topic but food for thought:In 1971 NASA sent a crew to the moon (first attempt after Apollo 13 don't forget) with a total (3 guys) space flight time of 15mins. They learnt everything else on sims and as it turned out handled a number of "problems" on the flight incl losing landing radar for a large part of the lunar desent.
Back on track: Can't help wonder where all the sim avalibility is going to come from (good news if yer Flight Safety or CAE I suppose.)
