A valid statement. I have had individuals tell me that they learned how to do something flying a FS on their laptop.
Not the best way to impress their instructor.
@PhrogPhlyer Another true statement. When I was a CFI around 20 years ago, a student tried to pull back all the way on the yoke right after takeoff because he did it in MSFS. MSFS is realistic in some ways, but in many other ways, it is misses a lot of realistic features that cannot be duplicated on a home PC based simulator.
P.S. the nose does pitch up after adding collective to take off in MSFS. Two clicks of "nose down" trim fixes this.
