Sims that look like the aircraft
I was having a look round Bristol Flying Centre at the weekend and their FNPT2 sim has a Seneca panel that looks exactly like the panel in a real Seneca. I have seen others though that boast a Seneca flight model but have just a generic panel.
Now, I would assume that if it looks exactly like the aircraft it may be a more effective training aid than a generic one - even if only down to the procedures and learning the locations of all the switches etc.
Does anybody have any views on this or does it even make a difference? Thoughts welcome.....
