I just went through a similar "discussion", with an MSFS simmer on a
different group who's never flown a real anything, yet is adamant that
his flight models are "totally realistic", and he's a "natural" at
flying. Even though he's never flown anything, he personally tweaks his
flight models for perfect reaction. He "flew" a 757/767 full motion
simulator ONCE, and apparently is ready for his type rating.

Snort!

I'd love to do his checkride.

My suggestion to spend $49-99 on a Discovery Flight in an actual
airplane simply to feel the controls, motions, and sounds, was passed
off as useless, as he can't afford his own plane and has known other
pilots who never used their license.

Is there some sort of subliminal brain washing routine coded into random
copies of MSFS? G

He he. We have a simmer where I work who spends much of his time outside of
the airplane playing in his sim. He flies about as well as you would
expect.

Badly.
