BTW, lot's of people using simulators never notice a couple of things.

The better ones can adjust the "weather". And usually don't have it turned on at all, or have very little wind and no "bumps" in the air. A buddy of mine has gone through G2 to G4 and has never missed the chance to tell everyone that it's not realistic because the airplanes don't get pushed around in the air. A buddy of his got a chance to turn the wind and thermals on for him. Ever hear someone say, "Damn, I didn't know it could do that."?

Almost all of them come with perfectly trimmed models. The major sims are being used by the two major retailers as subtle advertising tools. You think they're going to have one of their most popular models show up in their sim with a screwed up CG? And how many modelers own perfectly trimmed models they fly every weekend.

So if you think the sim isn't true to life, it probably isn't. Get your real life model flying better, and punch a few buttons in the sim to throw some real life at you. And you might see that your sim can be pretty true to life after all.

And if you want to find out more about setting your sim to be more realistic, look over on the RCU forum that's about RC simulators.
