But I thought that nothing is the same as the real thing, therefore _any_
simulation is unacceptable. If that's not true, then there must be some
simulations of flying that are just as realistic as the real thing.
Did you miss the word "aircraft"?
On an AIRCRAFT where there is no natural control feedback, systems
much more complex and expensive than a couple of springs provide
the feedback. That is not a "simulation of flying", it is actual flight.
You can't have it both ways. Either simulation works, or it doesn't.
Irrelevant to the statement.
In the early days of fly by wire airplanes without any control feedback,
the airplane tended to wander about the sky the way simmers do.
Simmers don't wander about the sky any more than real pilots.
As long as they have the autopilot on.
Which airplanes do you have in mind, specifically?
Any real one.
