Simulator time is logged only in the "Simulator" or "Ground Trainer" column; it counts only as simulator training time and should not be included in your airplane PIC or SIC airplane time nor in your "total" airplane flight time column. Sim time is always separated and stays separated from your actual "pilot at controls" airplane time.

Think of it this way: A simulator is never an airplane, and no simulator has true airplane fidelity, no matter how sophisticated. Simulators cannot mimic true airplane inertia, they are not pressurized and cannot fly upside down.
