Actually, practicing on a PC does help improve one's RC flying using an RC flight sim program. The one I have lets me connect my RC remote to my PC via a USB cable and and I can either practice my RC plane or helicopter flying, Heck, I learned to fly RC helicopters using this RC flight sim. Learned the basics on the sim and practiced until I had it down before trying it in real time with my helo, saved me a lot of frustration.
ack-ack
So you're saying you never had a hard landing or crashed your RC aircraft? I doubt it. The real life coordination does not translate to a pc game. It may be similar, but it will not be the same.
Same goes for flying. You will never get into a p-38 and fly it like a pro. If you get that oportunity, you will go through as many if not more practice landings as you would if you were trained by an instructor with no flight-sim time.
Ohh ohhkay Muzik...
Going by what you say, then THIS GAME WOULD NOT HELP ANYONE LEARN REAL DOGFIGHTING AT ALL either then?
Its just a game, has nothing in common with Real Life?!?! 
No Goofy, I didn't say anything about air combat, but since you asked, no. If you are suggesting that you can learn what ACM is and get a general idea of how they work, then you would be correct. If you think you could jump into a ww2 aircraft, even a simplified one, and dogfight against a pilot who flys them, you would not.
Flight simulators are great for many things. Many people have and still do learn the basics of flying, does that mean that they all are capable of flying real aircraft? No! I'll use the same example I used with akak, landings take motor skills and coordination that you will not get from a PC. They take practice.
There are some people that are naturally coordinated and it does not take them much to pick these skills up. Flight instructors see them occasionally and call them naturals.
A kid from my area stole several airplanes and when he was caught he told police he learned to fly on pc flight simulators. He crashed five airplanes. Obviously, not a natural.
So back to your contention, yes, if someone had zero knowledge of flying or RC airplanes they can learn the basics. And when they take their RC plane up for the first time, it's going to have the same fiery death it would if they had read a how to book first. It's just going to fumble around longer in the air if they use a PC sim first.
