Each sim has its uses and limitations. As long as you understand the sim, and use it to train appropriate training objectives, they are great tools.
I am a huge fan of PC Based Simulations for training. They are great tools, and need to be far better understood.

I find it very strange that some Officers who have used them for fun have actually said to me, "Oh they're not realistic. What we get trained to do for real, does not work in the game." - no really! I have had that said to me twice!!!
