What I fear, is that I might get out to the field, and take one of those split second bold chances, and bite the real dust ! I haven't had a pilot error crash since my 2nd plane, some 16 years ago. I'm wondering if I'm getting a false sense of security with the sim.
I thought about that too, but here's how I view it.
1. When real parts (ie, money) are on the line, I won't be so daring.
2. I will learn to do things that would take forever to learn w/o the sim, or that I would never learn, because I would not be daring enough and could not afford the replacement parts.
I would not try anything you cannot do in your sleep on the sim.
