Os dejo un link con la entrevista que hicieron a Peter Hager, sobre sus aviones y mas cosas.

Procedures Simulator. Do you agree
with that description, and why do
you feel this type of environment is
important to have in X-Plane?
PH: In fact there are almost 20 real
Airbus pilots and a handful of Turbo
Commander pilots, from whom I know
they are practicing with my models,
although there is still so much missing.
Honestly, I wish my actual models could
offer a bit more to justify the term
"procedure simulator". Presently only
some few, basic procedures can be
trained. More are to come. In particular
auto-flight cannot be pract iced
realistically without a perfect MCDU
(FMS) designed for a particular aircraft.
And development of an MCDU takes
several man-years. THIS is a matter of
much higher priority to me than a VC. -
A big surprise for me was to learn about
WHAT some of those Airbus pilots are
practicing with my models: Flying
manually! - Yes, you've read correctly. - I
was told that due to extensive AP use
there is insufficient opportunity to
practice manual control, and that my
Airbus models in XP handle so
realistically, that they are in use to fill this
gap
And here is something interesting.
I've read a notice last year, where the
USAF is warning their pilots not to
practice with Microsoft (sims), so as not
to get used to unrealistic flight
characteristics. This might lead to fatal
errors in real flying.¿que os parece?
