I was just about to ask!

I heard a story about a (sim) real hard landing that blew a seal in a
hyd cylinder..

The sim here (talked my way into that in return for a "demo" flight
with one of my Radio controlled helis) could shake you really good if
you were pushing it...

Cheers!

The one I heard was a pilot wanted to see if the sim could
do a snap roll and it did.
