Well...
As embarrassing as this is, I'm actually not quite not enough to get my license or get into a full motion sim, and the sim I was referring to WAS actually a Microsoft Flight Sim that I spend hundreds of dollars and hours and hours of work on tweaking to operate very realistically. The 737NG and Classic I have both operate almost exactly like the real one. I am trying to learn as much as I humanly can about the plane, and practice fly my sim as realistically as possible. When I can get my license, I will, but I can't do until at least 17 I think it is. So, I guess my stage would be pre-training?
