Default X-Wind simulator

I can't imagine the "simulator" shown on the web site being of much value.
Personally I just practice x-wind landings without an instructor, but if you
don't know the proper techniques then you should seek the help of an
instructor you trust. Perfect practice makes perfect. Imperfect practice
just reinforces bad habits.

Get some x-wind landing practice with an instructor in a real airplane as
well. Learn to know when the x-wind and gusts exceed your safety limit and
go around to land on a more favorable runway. My2c.

Has anyone had any experience with this device?

Is it a valuable training aid or just another toy?

I will be driving up through California and am considering taking a
training session.
How else could I try my hand at howling gusty crosswinds and not worry
about breaking my plane. :-)

Thanks
