Stability augmentation promises to give you even less control

I don't even remember if my last car had ABS (a few years ago). I think maybe
it did. But it didn't have any stability stuff.

Well, I've had this discussion with two other people from the same basic
age group, so for a sample size of three, it applies 100%.

In that case, the adjustment from a simulator to real life or vice versa
should be equally trivial.

ABS is part of the "stability stuff" designed to keep the car from winding
up sideways in a panic stop.

Non sequitur.

Yes, but ABS systems can be installed alone, without any other stability
stuff, and that's the way my car was ... I think. I'm pretty sure it had ABS
because there was a light on the dashboard for it, but it didn't have any
stability weirdness. As I recall, the light came on when ABS was engaged. Of
course, it never came on for me, because I never stopped recklessly enough for
it to activate.

Non sequitur.

I'm afraid not. You've admitted yourself that many differences are trivial and
can be easily adapted to, which is true. Moving from sim to airplane or back
is the same way. Only an exceptionally stupid student or pilot would not
notice and allow for differences between the two.

Point missed again.

ABS is "stability stuff", which contrary to your assertion has been around
for over twenty years, has saved lives, and causes no "problems" I've ever
heard of.

One does not have to drive "recklessly" for their system to activate.

A ball rolls into the street in front of you followed closeley by a running
child...

Someone pulls out of a driveway onto the street without looking...

The car in the next lane blows a tire and starts skidding into your lane...

I could go on and on and all of them have happened to me.

Nope, I what I have said is some differences are trivial, but many of them
are major unless you are talking about multi-million dollar, full motion,
professisonal simulators.

So a multi-million-dollar, full-motion, professional simulator that
exaggerates the effects of spoilers by 100% would still only count as a
trivial difference?

Nope, and that is a really stupid question.
