Default Rudder for final runway alignment (?)

Following that reasoning, unless you have full motion, it's just a
game. In fact, unless the air pressure in the simulator with
altitude, it's just a game. And so on.

I did initial Baron training at Flight Safety, and even though
there's no motion, I found myself leaning, clutching the yoke,
and sweating during a VMC rollover.


What did you train with?

In MS Flight Simulator something relatively slow and stable like a Baron
(which I fly) is not too bad, but the Extra model is terrible (the real one
is a lot quicker than the PC version in roll and pitch).


I've tried the Extra and it seemed extremely fast to me, but I have no
idea how the real one might be. I'm not very interested in acrobatics
so it's not a big deal.

Regardless, the visceral feedback and visual cues from flying a real plane
are a lot different than sitting in a chair in front of a screen. For the
cost of a good computer, screen, and peripherals you could be more than half
way to having a real pilot's license.


Hardly. A pilot's license here would cost me at least ten times more
than the best computer around.
