I'm about to start my training, and went to the air field recently. I asked a few people how long did it take them to solo. The answers varied obviously, but one guy said in only 2 flights. I asked how did he accomplish this so quick, and he said that for a month he'd been working out on nexstar's flight sim, and that it kept him from crashing as well.

Do these simulators translate into better pilots, and cut down your learning curve significantly??? I'll get one if you guys thinks so. Look forward to your opinions.
