So on a slight thread drift, but still related to pretend flying....is it worth spending out to have a go on a full motion flight simulator for an hour, just as a one off (I'm never going to get to fly an Airbus/Boeing for real...unless someting really bad happens) or better for me to spend the cash on more time in the humble PA28?

My feeling is that I'd love to try out the sim, but I also love "proper" flying...for the cash spent on the sim, I could go up several times in the genuine plane, have some fun and get more experience.

I'm not a millionaire either, otherwise I'd have done the sim thing already.
