At the end of the day if it has been chosen for Ascent then good on the next gen of RW crews for across our armed forces. The German Bundeswehr and Swiss Air Force. use it as a trainer though the German system is predominantly sims (both PC and proper 4 x axis ) before the successful candidate goes onto 135.
