I take it you are talking about a barrel roll. With the real thing, you feel
the roll in the seat of your pants. With the sim, I guess you'd have to do
it with instruments - i.e., coordinate with the ball, and a g-meter. Since
you can't feel it, I don't see how else you would know if you did it right.
Doesn't sound like much fun.


I've done it successfully as an experiment, out of curiosity, but you
are right, it's not much fun. It has the merit of being a very safe
maneuver.


Breaking both wings off in the simulator is also a very safe maneuver
isn't it?
