Interesting comment about sim instructors...and the rudder.
Suspect that part of the problem is all the old guys have retired and gone to heaven, and the lessons learned a LONG time ago about abrupt maximum rudder use have been forgotten.
Good friend of mine, now retired L10 fleet manager at DAL mentioned that when he joined the airline (was a former Marine pilot), one of his older instructors mentioned ..." be gentle but positive with the rudder." Same for me at PanAmerican, long ago.
Newer guys need to be reminded.
