A simulate we can afford is really not much like flying. The simulators the airlines use are so real they will go from a type rating by simulator to a line check. The line check will be the first time in that type of plane. I know folks that use there desk top simulator to practice IFR and other things and I have had the opportunity to play with a couple of real nice ones and from my experience they are not the same. I believe everyone should have a tailwheel endorsement. You would be surprised how it helps in all planes.

One was, was it just my lack of time and experience in the plane (probably so) or two, was there a way to make it easier to control, and three, to leave a more searchable title in the KR archives for future reference. By the way, this subject has nothing to do with the accident at all. That was caused by gusting wind. Also, X-Plane is not a perfect simulator, neither is a multi million dollar airline simulator but it is fun and all that I and many others can afford. Now whether it can produce bad habits or not, yes it can if you let it, it's up to you to practice good habits. Have a great Christmas.
