alot .
In primary this is what you can expect.
5 cpt's
12 fams
1 x-ride
1 solo
7 aerobatic flights
9 BI sims
3 BI flights
3 night flights
5 Form flights
1 form solo
3 cruise forms
2 day navs
2 night navs
19 ri sims
9 ri flights
1 x-ride
Out of 83-some-odd events , 5 are cpt's in the sims, 9 BI sims, and 19 RI's. So that's ~40% of primary is in the sims. it doesn't seem like that long because you are double pumped for almost all of your sims

I would expect a lot of simulator work these days, especially with carrier landings and all. I was just curious.

AoA patterns are kind of "boat stuff." At least the final part of it.
And it doesn't stop when you get to the fleet. The push from Big Navy leadership these days is to do more with less - actually not a new idea at all. It costs a lot less money to do events in the sim. There was even an article in the Navy Times several months ago by some ADM that said he felt that FCLP and CQ could adequately be simulated in the simulator. At Tailhook this year there were several other ADMs that all but said that the author of that artcile was on crack.
Every community is trying to find ways to do more of its training in the simulator. There are pros and cons to it - but the bottom line is that its not going to change anytime soon.

The TS guys also get 2 sims where they go to the boat. I think the 2 sims that we do are actually 2 too many. The sims do not prepare you for what it really feels like to fly the ball at the boat. The biggest problem is that the sim does a horrible job of simulating the burble. That alone causes negative learning to take place. Also, the fact that JDizzle was screaming "what do you mean the nose starting pitching up and down by itself right before you crossed the carrier deck?? That wasn't the sim that was you!!!"
,didn't make for a very good learning experience.SIM COMPLETE BABY!!!
A quick word about sims...
For those of you still in the training pipeline or in the rag, don't take the time in the sims for granted. Yes we all hate them but recently I found that the sim paid off quite a bit. I used to think that the sim instructors spent too much time trying to create impossible compound emergencies. Just this past Sunday I had one of those compound emergencies. The XO was in the left seat and I was in the right flying in and out of IMC. As we were being vectored around the ship, our right propeller pitchlocked. Now the entire time up to this, we had a faulty indicator that continually tripped the master caution. This made the master caution light pretty useless when we had the propeller emergency. Basically it was a very similiar scenario created by some of the rag sim instructors.
Now I may be the new guy, but being the new guy meant I was fresh out of the rag where I practiced the pitchlock scenario routinely. The XO had never had one in his several years of flying. In a humorous twist, I was more up-to-speed on the non-memory part of the checklist than the commander.
Moral of the story: use the sim time to your advantage and learn something from them.

Does anyone know if there is T-6 software available anywhere for FS 2004? I have found tons of add-ons for FS 98 and FS 2002, but none for FS 2004. Can anyone help?
1: a new topic could have been started instead of re-hashing this one.
2: it depends. are you a student aviator/FO? if so you can get the microsim CD from whichever primary wing you are assigned to, it only works with 00 and 02. if not, you just gotta look around the internet for something. there is nothing navy-sponsored for the 2004 that I know of.
