Regarding co-ordination & rudder (mis)use in turns-
Once upon a time I had access to a fairly good simulator for pre-solo training. Well, initially I thought "What's the point? Simulators are for IF training not pre-solo!", but then I discovered that the programmers had made the rudder far more sensitive & powerful than any real aircraft I've flown.
Cutting a long story short, my students that year were really really sharp when it came to rudder use!
So since then I've regretted not having access to a good visual simulator for ab-initio training.
No, MS Flight Sim doesn't count - no control feel.
