Another possibility is that your sim plane doesn't fly with the same characteristics as your "real" plane. The result is that you've learned to fly the SIM great, but what you learned doesn't transfer to the real plane, because you're flying two different planes with different characteristics. I've got Aerofly Pro, Real Flight G2, and now have Real Flight G3 and, out of the box NONE of them have planes that fly like "real" planes. I spend the time to set up the planes to fly like my real ones so that now, rather than the sim being a game, it's a TOOL that I can use to learn manuevers, and have everything I learn to directly transfer to my "biggun". For example, my 35% WH Extra knife edges at 1/2 low rate rudder stick and 1/2 throttle, and will hold that knife edge until the tank runs dry. I set up my sim plane to do the same thing with the same inputs by playing with rudder throw, airplane weight, etc. I likewise set up elevator and aileron response and "feel" throttle response, vertical performance, etc. so feels just like my "biggun".

Now, since the sim flies just like my real one, everthing that I learn on the sim exactly transfers to the field! I'll bet that if you spend the time setting up your sim per above, you'll have to re-learn how to do those rollers on the sim. The plus side is that once you get it right on the "NEW" sim plane, you'll see immediate results at the field.


BTW, you have spent the time to properly set up your "real" plane, right? In other words, not only so that it flies hands off, but also addressing any rudder-aileron or rudder-elevator coupling issues, setting up proper throws, expo, etc. When you do this, then your plane "helps" you do the stuff you want to do. I've seen many guys fighting with ill handling planes, trying to adjust themselves to the plane, rather than adjusting the plane to them. When you see a pilot put up a flight that you're impressed with, 50% of what you're looking at is the plane's SETUP.

Bottom line is that you've got a GREAT tool with the WH Edge, all you've got to do is spend time (and gas) so you can use it.
