Default Do sim pilots log their time?

I suspect success or failure says something about you, as a pilot, land

probably have no trouble landing the Kiwi -- but if you land a plane
more by "feel", you'll likely not have good luck in the sim.

I honestly don't know, though.

Only tried a sim a couple times. Did not land well. I guess I land by
feel. Once on short final, I don't look at the guages any more.

How can you tell? I mean, if you end up on the simulated runway and you
don't get the simulated cracks in the simulated windshield acompanied by the
simulated crashing sound, you know you didn't simulate wrecking a simulated
airplane, but beyond that???
