Interesting... Are the commercial flight simulators using an actual physics / aerodynamic model with all the components -- or just empirical data and lookup tables / expectations? I suppose in the latter case, behavior is more likely to deviate from reality?

- bdavis__ 8y agoi think in this case there is no '737 MAX' simulator, as the existing 737 simulators were considered identical for flight training. back to your question, most full fidelity flight simulations use actual models that are validated against flight test data. and in most cases, they run the same software code as is used in the actual air vehicle. which brings us back to the question..is a 737 MAX the same as other 737's? No.
