Unless convinced otherwise, I can't see pilots EVER stepping directly
from a sim into the left seat.

I did just that (except it was the appropriate right seat) in an R-22.
After five hours in the non-motion sim, I was hovering, unassisted, on my
very first flight.

And the make and model of the simulator is?

Had you had previous pilot training of any type?

How much time riding in helios?
