I've flown the F-16 simulator of the Royal Dutch Airforce more than once No I'm not an airforce pilot, but a dad who works there comes in handy sometimes ;-) ), I've flown PC simulators and such, but the first time I was in a real simulator (!) I had exactly the same feeling. About responsibillity and not taking my eyes fo the control panel and such. Though I have the feeling that that comes from the fact that it is the first time (I reme,ber driving for the first time with the same feeling) and I guess it just takes to time to get comfortable with the situation, just to get to enjoy it. In fact, I have decided to get my pilots license whenever possible, despite the first experience in the simulator.
