With that attitude, you'll get right along with all the other skygods. Just be sure to mention how amazing you are when you're in the back seat. Some people have waited 9 years for a go at that sim, so when the pressure is on, it's not surprising when they struggle. Doesn't help when you've been flying something completely different for the last decade (ie sidestick) either. Good luck to those reapplying - hopefully the tenacity will be recognised.
