Apart from Downloading way points into the nav comp (if they do that) before flights and actual pilot fitness do you think there would be any difference as far as input/controls go?
Dare i say that complex flight sims and how real they actually are helped one of the biggest terrorist attacks take shape and succeed 
These Sims are getting so complex it amazes me |
it didn't quite work that way, all those terrorists on the 911 flights were actually going through flight training at a major flight training organization in the US, they had to use MS flight sim to practice the awfull event they planned because it would have been perhaps a little obvious what they were up to trying to practice it in the actual simulators.......although it was blatantly dubious that they never showed interest in learning to land.
not so sure just anybody could climb into the A-10 and fly it just because of the sim either but I do agree with you the fidelity is amazing and there certainly would be some people capable of it.
