[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"][quote name="pinback"]I will say those things here. Just letting you know where you're going to want to be for the latest in ATC simulator comment and opinion.[/quote] I want to ask two related questions regarding this and similar genres of computer simulations based on your training and experience. Since you're a licensed pilot, let me ask you, do flight simulators give some realistic "feel" to the actual effects of flying in a plane or a simulator? Also, have you ever done a sit down with or gotten permission to watch actual flight controllers in action, say at a small airport like Hagerstown or College Park? (For everyone else, I used to know Pinback when he lived in Maryland.) If you've actually been in an ATC site do ATC simulators give much of an accurate depiction of what is involved?[/quote]
