yea, i kinda figured that, but I meant could I take what i know the airplane does in the sim and use it out in real life? could I take all my experiences on the sim and kinda learn from that?
Keep in mind that what a specific model does in the sim is the simulation of an almost perfectly trimmed model. I've found that the RF3.5's models that I have (SkyBolt, Ultimate, Sukhoi, etc) in real life didn't seem to fly like my real ones. And then I kept tuning my real Sukhoi and one day noticed that it flew like the one in the sim. Lightbulb went on. Figured I had some trimming to do on the others and DANG if that wasn't true.
Yes, you can learn from the sim, but having taught people who had misconceptions and burned them in on their simulators, I would strongly suggest that you can the idea of using the keyboard. You WILL wind up having that muscle memory in the way and mental confusion in the way as well. Can the keyboard.
