If you have never flown before, You would probaby crash in both cases if you soloed.
Thing is, you can use the sim as many hours as you want, night or day, rain or shine at your convenience.
If stick time with an instructor was as easy to come by as sitting down at your pc, there would be no such thing as simulators.
Wings
WINGS: MY POINT WAS you will learn more from 6 hrs with a instructor
than you will with countless hrs with a sim. Like i said in my post and i will
state it again by the time you or any one else thinks that you are ready
to fly after using a sim I could have you flying on your own in a fraction
of the time by lessons. Now the question was SIMS VRS INSTRUCTOR. That says
nothing about not being able to get a hold of a instructor. It is very,very,very
unlikely that a person will crash while flying with instructor weather its your
first flight or you 50th flight with the instructor. Yes in a lot of case a instructor
is just as easy to get a hold of as the sim on your pc. SIMS ARE GOOD TO SCR*W
AROUND WITH but thats about there limit may help on cordnation a little.
Yes i do have real flight and no i dont train with it cause i dont need to. I also
dont recommend it as a training device. Now what i do recomeend is save
your time and money that you will spend on a sim and buy a plane and get with
an instructor if posiable. I think it should be reversed learn to fly with a instructor
first and than get a sim and use it for what its worth(Playing with).
