How many real pilots here? :)

I bet the dork pilots can out fly the real pilots.

In the end, it all comes down to your own brain`s ability to process information,safety and logic

What about Military and Ex Mil pilots

In simulations I bet they can too, simtechs can often fly the simulators better than real pilots because they just big computers and the simtechs can fly numbers very well, turn the tables and put a 'dork' or simtech into the real thing and it's a different story, in the real world wether you are military or civil you have to deal with spatial orientation and situational awareness and many outside influences i.e. accelration forces on the vestibular system (balance), seat of the pants type stuff that simulators will never recreate.

Mk 5 with the glorious registration number of VH ASI. How did you go when you landed it? It is quite unforgiving of any mistake. Hardest landing I had in it was a cross wind landing with 30 knot at right angles to the runway.

No acceleration forces in a FOO Fighter with the inertia dampeners!!!

Exactly why I'm starting my PPL training. I want to feel my pants.

ATPL(H), ATPL(A) flew military and Civil Airlines for 39.5 years and retired to this and other Sims 18 months ago.

I became a pilot in the vain hope that somebody else would want to feel my pants, sadly it seems chicks don't dig pilots that much........just money, and I'm affraid being a pilot isn't the well paid glamour job it used to be.
