Huh?

It is no secret..

You will be hard pressed to find a PC flight sim made in the past 10 years that is NOT using a 6DOF FM..

Except maybe for some of the x-box quake types of flight sims..

So...

No comment on the FACT that we only hear from (read the reports of) the pilots that made it home to write about it..

So maybe now you can see my point of view as to why anecdotical evidence is 'flittered data' and thus not useful in any sort of statistical summary!

It would be like going to San Francisco or New York city and asking people on the street how good of a job they think the president is doing and using those results to place a bet on the next election!

And that is just one problem with anecdotical evidence!

Let's not forget that anecdotical evidence is typically, if not allways, a 'one sided' story!

That is to say you will be hard pressed to find a WWII after action reports that consist of both comments from the Spitfire pilot and the Bf109 pilot in that report talking about the same encounter..

Thus math ftw!

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
