Sim Flight vs Real-World

I have a motion simulator with a buttkicker & fly in VR, and as real as it is… Real-Life flight is SO. MUCH. MOR VISCERAL. Both screenshots below are me sketching my entry procedure. One Simulated, one IRL. :joy::joy::joy:

Blew me BACKWARDS for a sec!! :joy::joy:

or you wanted to extend your base leg !!! :rofl:

Base leg changed its mind for a sec :wink:

Is the red the actual ground track? There’s a bunch of… …how? Or was it your interpretation?

LOL, no… the red lines are me sketching the entry procedure on my iPad running ForeFlight. (I like to draw what I’m supposed to do on the moving map as soon as tower gives me the instructions.)

The one that’s nice and straight, is typical of how they look when I’m in my home sim. No turbulence, no rush.

The one that looks like I have Parkinson’s was me trying to sketch while getting tossed around by some pretty gnarly thermals IRL

The green line (mostly cropped) was my actual flight path.
