Good to know that you had good experiences, but there is a bit more down there.
The sim does not teach how to trim a plane in its very first flight, they all come already tested and easily fliables.
I would recommend to every one who is getting started in the hobby to find a flying field and a qualified instructor, with the help of the sim you may need the instructor just ocasionally but in your first flight I would say that it is mandatory.
Yeah, simulator's aircrafts are perfectly trimmed. That's the bad of the sim, but is ok anyway. You just MUST have a guy in your first day to keep up If it wasn't for the guy in my first day, my plane it would be stuck in the ground
