Force feedback versus real piloting?
John Doe wrote in news:jR0Oi.2629$y21.1720
@newssvr19.news.prodigy.net: Recently I was at a local airport talking to some pilots. One of them (obviously a real pilot) said that doing a simulator with a force feedback joystick and then flying a plane made for a smooth transition. I'm not a pilot so I didn't argue with that, but I was thinking "huh?" Isn't the general consensus here that force feedback is unrealistic? Maybe I've read the wrong threads or those comments were from non- pilots? Partly curious, thanks. Even the best sims are a very very poosr substitute for a real airplane, and learning to fly using a sim is not a good idea. Bertie
