"real flying is nothing like the sim"

Which did he prefer?

lots of sim "flying" can replace real flying reactions and learned
experiences with sim reactions.

That cannot be, if one is nothing like the other.

a friend almost lost his cherokee 140 in a crosswind learning
this the hard way.

Explain the circumstances.

microsoft flight sim has no valid place in a real flying environment.

Most people don't bring their PCs aboard the aircraft, so that's not a
problem.
