You are absolutely right that smoothness is the key thing for
passenger comfort and not fancy maneuvers. Having done the commercial
training, I firmly believe that mastering these maneuvers can help to
enhance my piloting skills. I have to be constantly in-tune with the
plane's responses. I have to know how, when and how much to provide
the appropriate inputs. I have to be totally coordinated. I have to
learn how to truly fly by the seat of my pants. Smoothness in flying
can not be achieved without these fundamental flying skills. This is
something that a pilot can never achieve just by flying simulators ;-)


Heh heh... believe me I know the history of our confused poster from Paris.
Irregardless of what he's said in the past, which you can safely discard as
meaningless, I am going to suggest the simulator is exactly what you ought to
consider before you go for an instrument flight. It'll help you get your scan
back up to speed, plus you can use it for procedure training. As for
smoothness, it ain't gonna do anything for you.

Frankly, keeping my scan up is the *only* thing I use the sim for. The rest of
it (MSFS) is just a toy.

And our friend? He has issues.
