A couple of things to ponder.

If (contray to what real life pilots and CFIs have said here) pilots
were taught to generally lean/tilt their heads to keep it normal to
the horizon, wouldn't a fine simulator such as MSFS ("as real as it
gets") be designed to keep the horizon always horizonal across your
monitor and have the cockpit artwork rotate/tilt (since that would
present the same sight picture to a sim-pilot as a real pilot would
encounter)?

No. Sim pilots can turn their heads, too.

Must be hard when it's up yo ass.



Have you ever felt the need to lean/tilt your head during coordinated
turns in a commercial airliner? If you forced yourself to lean in
such a situation you chances are you'd feel much more disorientated.

I'm rarely aware of turns in an airliner, as I'm not flying the plane and
don't have to worry about where it is going.




So you just board them higgedly piggedly, do you?
Doesn't matter where it goes?
