apparently those who go to a PPL from sims spend all of thier time fixated on the instruments
I'm told by flying instructors that this is a problem with some high time commercial pilots too who have just retired or who fancy getting some 'proper' stick and rudder time in. No reflection on them but if you've flown IFR for the last forty years it can be a bit of a sea change to actually look out the window 99.9% of the time.
