Default IMO, the sim was a big help.
A lot of it depends on your training regimen. What is your instructor teaching or not teaching you.

I solo'd on my 5th time out but I had spent several weeks on RealFlight G2 and I had a decent instructor. He taught me basic turns and how to fly over the runway. I quickly started trying out new stuff on my own (things I did on the Sim) like inverted flying, rolls, loops & figure 8s. I always figured, if I know the basics and know how to land I could give myself enough altitude and try new things safely.

HTH,
C.P.
