Rubbish.................
Best tell Elite Systems and other FNPT II simulator manufacturers to pack their bags and go home then!!!

Unless you're in an full-motion simulator with TCAS simulation and 'real World' projection how are you EVER going to teach airmanship, situational awareness, or lookout in ANY simulator?!

These, to a greater or lesser extent, are procedure trainers - whether MS FS, X-Plane, Elite or to FNPT II standard.

Were you taught airmanship, situational awareness or lookout in a Lightning simulator?

Last time I saw a F4 simulator at Coningsby the 'cockpit' was 'white washed' with no view outside whatsoever!
