Seem like now they only make 'real' simulators for use in training pilots. I hate 'real' simulators. I think most pilots do. For one thing, they don't really fly and usually when you are operating the device, you're under scrutiny from an Instructor who was probably thrown out of the SS for brutality :uhoh They are all hard work and the handling is so bad that if it a real aeroplane was flew like that, the countryside would be littered with burning wrecks. :pray

Fake sims like AH on the other hand are fun and sometimes more realistic than training devices.
