Hmmm. There are now several books that attempt to explain how to make best
use of a tool like MS Flight Simulator. Would anyone argue that the
prescriptions in those books wont help because it's a lost cause ("no
substitute for being in a real cockpit")?

Next thing you know, people will be claiming that no book can help guide
you in radio communications ("no substitute for using a real radio"), so
buying and reading such books is a waste money and time. *COUGH*

Additionally, the student can experience things in the simulator
that he/she can't or shouldn't do in the actual aircraft. The PC
simulator is, in my opinion, a valuable tool if used correctly.

Therein lies the problem. How does a student know if he's using the
tool correctly?
