This is your answer. In a sim you can't coordinate a turn realistically

the

I can certainly do that, but I'm trying to develop some type of automatic
coordination of turns, once I figure out how exactly to move the rudder
and
when. It would take only a few seconds to learn this in a moving
aircraft,
but in a non-moving simulator it is a considerably greater challenge.
It's
not critical because it is so easy and natural to do in real life, but
it's
still something I'd like to learn. It's one of only a handful of aspects
of
flying that depends heavily on physical sensation in practice.
