Aeroplanes not toys.
The simulators cost more than some £25k Cessna so they do simple
stuff in them.
It won't teach you anything about what happens when the wings are
nearly torn off by wind shear or what happens with icing or when
both engines fail.

Dennis, it is quite obvious from that statement that you have no
history in the aerospace industry.

An aircraft would have to suffer very extreme damage to have its
wings nearly torn off. Even then, there is enough integrity in the
structure for the aircraft to land, providing it can see the ground.

When an aircraft is made, there is a test bed, or three that does the
following.

1 The aircraft air frame is subjected to very intensive flight
testing. Most of this is done on the ground, in a rig that stresses
it to find out which bits are going to break first. This is done at
a far greater flight time of any aircraft that is in service. When
something breaks, instructions are sent out to all owners of that
type of aircraft, so they can examine it, to see if it is suffering
the same problem. Usually as a PWI (preliminary warning instruction)
This then gets included in the manufacturer recommended service
schedule if feed back proves to be a problem. Owners of that type of
aircraft would be stupid to ignore this PWI.

2 As a result of mechanical changes to the flying surfaces, a flying
test bed is used to provide info on how any changes could effect the
aircraft's flying capabilities.

3 Any controls and electronics on the aircraft and changes to them,
by the manufacturer, are logged so any owner, or operator is aware
of any problems.

What do any of those points have to do with what I said?

FFS Dennis, that Alzheimer's of yours is getting worse.
