I could turn on a real F-16. Zero chance I'd try to fly one irl. I just don't think the knowledge/skill transfer is very good for actual flying without any sort of (realistic) haptic feedback for how the plane actually feels to fly. Maybe if you shat money and could afford a 6DoF rig and trained on that?
