I agree, with the sim one can get lazy. Crashing on the sim can lead to crashing in real life.
It
can, but for me it
does not. I crash much more often on the sim than I like(learning 3D down low). This is because I fly much more aggressively on the sim forcing myself to higher levels. I also add weight to planes(15 to 20 pounds to the fuse on a 40%er) and crank up the sim speed(140-180) so that the sim planes are more difficult to 3D than my real planes(my 21-25%ers). This has helped me out immensely in learning 3D.
