One should be very wary of trying odd things in the simulator, such as no hydraulics flying. What the simulator does may have no resemblance to what the aircraft will do because no flight data was collected during the flight testing in order to programme the simulator correctly. The same applies to recoveries from unusual attitudes. Some trainers seem to think that they can place the aircraft in all sorts of weird positions and that the simulator will react like to aircraft. Not true, again because no data was gather during testing for these extreme situations and the simulator may not reflect what the aircraft will do. So be careful and don't be succored into thinking that if you can handle these things in the Simulator you will be OK in the aircraft. It just might bite you!
