Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?

And you haven't backed up your claim that motor cyclists are actually
taught the way you claim they are.


That's taught in the 'how to not fall off your bike' class.

1) This is a motorcycle.

2) To prevent falling off this powerful machine, many newbies have found
that keeping their head vertical to the road prevents them from getting too
dizzy and falling off.

3) Please note: your motorcycle instructors are not newbies, therefore are
not likely to fall off their bikes, so you probably won't see anyone who has
made more than twenty-five left hand turns twisting their head like a dog to
keep it level with the ground.

So: the real question is: when using MSFS, should a newbie keep her head
level with the REAL horizon, or the Artificial Horizon?
