Its a good question. Personally, I dont have the greatest stomach in the world so anything aerobatic wise leaves me a little green round the gills. Not surprisingly, i was very apprehensive about doing my first type rating due to it being my first exposure to a full motion axis sim. I have to say however I didnt once, at any stage,feel ill during the course. Nor have i felt rough in any subsequent OPC/LPC checks in the sim. The only reason I can see is that im working so hard during the sessions that I quite literally dont have the time nor capacity to feel rough. A lot of course might depend on the particular exersise being flown in sim. In saying that, I quite happily got throughmy FI course too without any issues. Put me in the back of a pitts though and start doing some aeros and i'd probably only last a few minutes
