A former Alteon guy told me how an anal retentive colleague of his failed a pilot who used a combined decrab and wing low landing method in the simulator; apparently it wasn't a very tidy landing but no crash or drift off. This guy mentioned that he just couldn't understand how that colleague could have failed the checkee as the simulator then didn't have the fidelity anywhere close to that of an actual aircraft.
