Default Do sim pilots log their time?

Interestingly, even though I personally find the sim experience to be
quite realistic, some of the best sticks I know have great difficulty
landing. One fellow in particular is inexplicably having no luck
landing the sim, despite thousands of hours of flight experience.


What specifically is he having problems with? Is it difficulty in
controlling speed, approach angle, direction, or what? Are the problems
encountered within ground effect distance or higher? In a real plane, is he
more likely than most to judge altitude and attitude by glancing out the
side windows?

Okay - that's a lot of questions I'm pretty sure you don't have answers to,
but I suspect answering them would help isolate where the simulator is
weakest in replicating reality.
