Why waste time on a piloting group, trying to justify and glorify your sims.
Go to a sim group.

I AM from a sim group http://groups.google.com/group/alt.g...ght-sim/topics
which is FULL of qualified pilots IRL including a retired Swiss Airbus
A320 pilot. The group has been around for over 10 years.

I for one have NEVER said the sim is perfect and will replace real
life flying and it's skills. The sim however (with the correct addon
aircraft) and hardware help simmers understand how the real aircraft
operates.
