Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

Then YOU DID NOT SIMULATE LANDING THE PLANE. Did you????????????
I've simulated all sorts of landings: hand-flown, autopilot (including
autoland), VMC, IMC, zero visibility, crosswinds, etc. The greater the variety
of situations you simulate, the more you learn.
A simulator allows you to gain experience with situations that you may never
encounter in real life. While simulation isn't perfect, the knowledge you gain
from the simulation of a specific situation is more useful than no knowledge
at all ... especially if that particular situation actually arises (I think Al
Haynes would agree with that).
DUH, AUTO LAND........ HELLO, anybody out there.
PILOTS LAND THE PLANE in VMC.in the real world.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
I think if you do a quick search on YouTube, you'll find that lots of landings
take place in IMC, including computer-controlled autolands in very low
visibility (apparently Cat IIIc autolands in zero visibility are not actually
done because of the difficulty in taxiing to the gate thereafter).
As Jim already pointed out, YOU DON'T land anything. YOU SIMULATE
LANDING on MSFS.
I land in the simulator.
WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT SIMULATION?????
I might be tempted to ask the same question.
