If I could do something in the simulator, could I do it with the same plane in real life?

Not with the simulator I have. I have the Dave Brown and I can do things that are impossible in real life. Landings and take-offs are oversimplified as well. Flying is pretty close to the real thing. Stalled aerobatics aren't even close. I've been able to get the plane to fly backwards. I haven't tried the G2 yet.

G2 I would say yes but theres things in real life which can never be simulated, nerves, wind, the sound of money hitting the ground. I have to say its getting pretty realistic. In ten years time I think these sims will be pretty good!!
