It has the look maybe but I doubt it has the feel

in real life I give you less than three minutes to live
I am an AMT with 4 years as an observing flight mechanic and countless hours playing with flight sims. First time in a DC-10 real sim, no motion, slightly limited visability. Could have set up for a 3B landing configured on g/s and disconnected for a stable landing but I decided to (had a good f/o with engineer experience in type in the rt seat) set up ILS raw data and hand fly in. Granted my approach was not pretty, the landing was stout and I had a hard time keeping her on the centre line it was a safe landing.

I bet you my 14 year old nephew with a little coaching being a young flight sim (Gamer) could have done as well or better. The only thing I was not expecting was the weight of the control column, put the kid in a airbus instead.

I disagree with your assumptions.
