I recall a post in the previous thread from someone who had hand-flown one of the above AB models in alternate law, and who reported the actual a/c was significantly more sensitive than the simulator.
Previously, one of the most often heard complaints about simulators during training was that they were generally more "sensitive" than the real aircraft while hand flying. (The workman blaming his tools.)
Even from aircraft to aircraft
of the same type there are minor differences in feel and sensitivity, though less so in FBW aircraft I would guess. Depends on how bent the aircraft is from firm landings.
Line pilot critiques of simulator performance and fidelity these days are consistently pretty complimentary.
I'm still not convinced by the "G-loading causes nose-up trim" argument and I'm trying to find the info that will confirm or disprove it.
Would my confirmation be of any value? CS is entirely correct from what I can tell.
