Lots of sim wizards out there, that stare at
the gauges and don't bother looking outside.
Indeed. Sim software should include "traffic" which left unavoided, results in all your instruments failing, so you have to look outside!
I was invited to try a new helicopter simulator in Germany last year. It must have been pretty realistic, because once I had it running, and had done some basic hover work to get the feel of it, I headed out toward the runway to depart for a circuit. I found myself holding at the runway, and doing clearing turns looking for traffic.
Glass Cockpits do breed a false sense of infallibility
If you were bread to look at them, yes. As I discussed the 182, in which we have installed a G600, with EASA recently, with my having flown it about 60 hours, I was asked about the presentation of the airspeed on the G600. I had to admit that I did not know, I really had not looked at it much. The plane still had the original Cessna ASI, and occasional I would glance at that. So I went and reflew the 182, and deliberately looked at the G600 airspeed tape, to make my notes. But I still prefer the ASI...
