I wonder why this mentality doesn’t transfer to flight sims.
Pilots can’t stand flight sims as training tools, and actively dissuade student pilots from using them.
I’ve always found it strange, especially in the world of VR.
Building up the radio call muscle alone would be worth the sim practice imo.

Plenty of companies around make those simulators since the 80s if not earlier, and they seemed to me to be more widely used than professional racing sims—if just for the price factor. I even know one company that makes ship bridge sims, employing fluid dynamics programmers.
