    It can teach you the basics and instruments, but it will never be the same as being in a real cockpit. Learning radio communication and the fact that your life is on the line when you are up in the air is reality.

      I agree with last part, because radio communication can also be trained on Vatsim or IVAO, of course not under the same conditions, but its basically like the real thing

      Sitting on a chair in a room with screens in 2D is nothing like the real thing. So whilst you can learn where the controls are and the like, the real thing is a very different beast.

      The same is true for driving any vehicle. Cars, trains, planes. You can't get that sensation of movement and momentum without physically being in the vehicle or at least a full motion simulator.

    Sims are great for procedural things - flying IFR procedures like STARs, SIDs, Approaches, Holding, etc. It can also train pilots in aircraft procedures like preflight and emergency procedures. Where it falls short are the actual stick and rudder skills so vital to a good pilot. Some large training devices do accurately simulate control forces, but it’s near impossible to 100% accurately simulate the real feel of the aircraft as you fly.

      @@byronrogers4489 Short of plugging a computer into the brain, (a la the ONI from Ready Player 2), it's impossible. You can get close with a Level D sim, but they're highly expensive and even they have their own limitations. X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Sim are good for practicing procedures and getting a general understanding, but not developing the raw stick and rudder skills. That takes time in the real aircraft.

      @@ManyManyPandas Yeah that’s how I feel about them as well. I’m a student pilot right now and did years of flight simming prior to starting my flight training. I think it helped me with instruments and procedures, and generally more visual aspects of flight. The actual flight controls is definitely where it falls short. I flew on vatsim A LOT prior to training so that made me very comfortable on the radios.

    Xplane graduate here, when I did my first heli lesson the instructor noted I was picking things quite quick and basic skills people take around 10 hours to learn, I was doing it within the first hour. Fixed wing wasn’t any different either, but most sim pilots tend to completely ignore the rudder or overuse it.

    Speaks volumes when professional pilots use them to prepare for recurrent training, airport familiarization etc.
    And definitely gives the avgeek a huge advantage.
    But only real life training can teach your body to fly an airplane.

    Back in the 80s I had a MSFS and used the single engine prop plane i did it a lot. One day i wanted to take a lesson and the instructor told me where did you learn how to fly? (this was my first time in a real aircraft). I myself didn't realize it was all those hours on the MSFS that did the training i did it for fun. The more you use the simulation the easier it will be in a real aircraft.

    I think it can teach you how to get lined up to the runway and to do an automated landing as that is easier without any experience compared to doing it without ever having done it before. But I'd say no on a purely manual hands on way.

    I've been a simmer for over 30 years and yes the new sims are good but to me I get more out of the older sims like MSFS 2002..CENTURY OF FLIGHT..FSX..XPLANE..
    When I received my PPL back in the 80s there wasn't really any good realistic Sims but they were catching up really fast in realism...The best way to get a good feel of flying is to go to a local airport and take some flight traininf..that's where you get the "bump and grind"..the up and down of turbulence and the feeling of moving through the air....that song "Ain't nothing like the real thing..baby" says it all..
    After you get some hours behind the controls and you get to solo ..then it all starts to gel.
    The basics in most sims is the process of pre fligh..startup radio comunication..
    and learning to fly looking outside (VFR Flying)...
    IFR Flying is another level that's very important..but most will fly VFR..90% of their early in the game.
    Flight sims are what I call( IRON SHARPENING IRON)....
    Race car drivers use racing sims..Football players use JohnMadden football..
    Farmers have farming sims..Ship captains use sim to practice their art of traversing the oceans..
    Still the best experience is the hands on touching the beast...
    Oh and it's fun too..

    The only flight simulator I have experience with that can actually train you on how to handle a stick/yoke and rudder is IL-2: 1946. It doesn’t have ANY of the things mentioned in this video about FSX, MSFS, or X-Plane but what it does have is that if you pull that stick to hard or you push that rudder to far you’re in for an entertaining flight. Aircraft can slip inside an airstream just the same as a car can slide on a road, and it’s really easy to push just a little too hard and lose control on your bird.

    It can definitely get u to the point where it’s so close but I’ll never get u in a real cockpit alone. I spend many years flying simulator since I’m five years old and wanna start my airline pilot training soon. I m very familiar with both real and simulator aviation. Msfs especially can get u so close to real world operation procedures. With the right time and money u can not only get the sim look pretty ipressive but also be pretty impressive every part of the flight and even the crew can be represented but it won’t change the fact that ur sitting infront of a monitor. And this is how it’s supposed to be it should umpresse u entertain and maybe motivate u on ur journey into the cockpit and in fact it can help u fly a real plane but won’t make u an official airline pilot ofc not a training cost more then 100.000 euros would be silly if u get it for a thousand in a sim. Airlines chose Pilot for a specific reason not after their knowledge of plane they bring with them but more for a solid and appropriate person with no previous knowledge
