Default Force feedback versus real piloting?

How many times can he overcontrol before he realizes that he is
overcontrolling?


It's rare, but some people are absolutely clueless about flying the
sim. What's really odd is to watch people who interpret the motion of
a 104" screen BACKWARDS. They see the plane roll left, and turn the
yoke MORE left, resulting in rolling inverted.

Usually someone only does this once before they figure out what's
wrong. Sometimes, though, the "pilot" doesn't ever figure it out,
crashes repeatedly, and gives up. It's almost like something is wired
backwards in their head.
