Quote by Alan Shepard
The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane, but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that.
Summary
This quote highlights the difference between flying an airplane and using flight simulators. The pilot, who is accustomed to responding to visual cues and indicators of attitude, speed, and orientation in a real aircraft, finds that the simulator experience is not the same. Despite the similarities in cues, the flight simulators have made it apparent that flying in a simulated environment does not fully replicate the actual flight experience.
