Yep! It's just a big video game.
I instructed in PanAm's B-707 simulators in Miami on and off for
several years. All you have to do is put the controls where the
computer wants them and it "flys" just like its on rails.
My "show-off" speciality was an engine-out ILS to a 0/0 touchdown
"hands-off". This after watching a student fight the machine for
2-3 approaches. :-)
