Your response is based on the usual attempt to rubbish what I'm telling you from first-hand knowledge and to dismiss it as "forum chatter". Just restating the same public forum claims does not address the limitations of the simulations. I think even you should be able to do better than that.
You might also explain two more things for us all. Which "Air Force" simulators do you think they used? What do you mean by running Typhoon with F-35 in a sim? These are important points to clear up because your statements about both points suggests that you may not understand how the simulator trials have to be run and therefore you wouldn't know what the limitations are. PhilipG has just given you further insight into the reasons for this.
