... a question
Although not a commercial pilot I have visited a couple of sims, one at Rediffusion in the UK nearly 25 years ago and one near DFW (courtesy of AA) in the 90's. I always asked pilots 'how do they compare' and invariably there's a pause and something like "not bad... the graphics are getting better. But you can still feel the difference".
Obviously they've moved on since my last experience. The question is, given your last few posts, and given that there is a knack to flying this aircraft, is this a training issue?
If it is, how close does the MD11 sim come to the real thing and can it be used to model these quirky situations which catch some - perhaps ex military or perhaps less intuitive - pilots unawares?
