Never complete surveys written by someone who uses the greengrocers' apostrophe...

Sorry, couldn't resist that, and I'm afraid I'm with the others who say its impossible to answer based on the images presented.

Interestingly I was "invited" to a seminar recently that involved watching video of the road in front of a moving car - the audience were supposed to comment on the hazards ahead. I couldn't do it because I don't drive by looking at a small square of available view in front and it all just felt totally unrealistic, I couldn't judge distances or speed.

Its why flight simmers who come to their first real flying lessons are so hard to teach. They need to un-learn their reliance on the instruments to tell them what is going on and to look out of the window. They've developed this reliance on the instruments in the game because the visuals outside the window on the screen just don't work well enough. My limited experience with pro simulators would suggest this is mostly down to the restricted field of view that a tv or pc screen offers.

And to the OP - do go and discuss the comments here with your supervisor. There's lots of useful comment here.
