Default RE: How effective are Flight Simulators...

Which is it, not worth a hill of beans or great? It taught me how to fly. I may not be qualified to talk about many things on here but if there is anything I am qualified to post a follow up on, it's this. You don't have to spend 250.00. I paid 85.00 for a used g2 lite. Some are free. Your guarantee doesn't hold up.

nitrobasher, I would bet as much as you want that G2 is NOT going to turn you into a pilot.

That computer program is really great, but there is nothing better than being attached to a buddy cord with a pilot that knows what he's doing.

I have seen time and time again many newbies that show up at the field that say they've been on the simulator, and they can't fly for a hill of beans. I've never used a sim and I'm glad I didn't spend $250 on one. Learn the old fashioned way. DO IT YOURSELF. That simulator is never going to teach you how to land, I guarantee it!!!!!!!
