Whenever I fly on instruments on a sim it seems different to when I
did it for my license - the aircraft just continually seems to be
moving left or right or whatever, which meant a moment looking away
from my scan and when you look back the damn thing seems to be leaning
over... I had so much trouble just keeping it upright without getting
the leans that I imagine several years and no practise later I would
have even more trouble.

I had the same thing happen in the sim today; you just have to keep your
eye
on the instruments. If there's nothing to see outside the window, there's
no
reason _not_ to keep your eye on the instruments.

If you lose visual reference it's damn easy to get the leans, as I
found out when I did my PPL IF training

Leans or not, your instruments will tell you if you are in level flight.
Perhaps animals cannot ignore their intincts, but people can.

Back the way you came.. When flying near bad weather I keep looking
back to make sure my escape route is still open...

And what if it's not? What then?

Bad visibility doesn't always flow in from somewhere else. Sometimes it
forms
right on the spot.

Well, as I understand it, the IMC that refers to is the rising terrain
and lowering cloud base, or an approaching line of crap.. Which looks
like a grey curtain stretching across the horizon.. If you can't
escape you can set down in a field before it nails you

What if you can't see the field?


When was the last time you experienced vertigo while flying your desk?
You are HOPELESSLY clueless.
