Gliders or ultralights are a great way to get your head around the way the aircraft moves and what you feel when it does.

Being a stickler is one of those cultural things that never makes it into the entertainment world. So much more planning goes into even the simplest flight that the sims mostly handwave. I play IL2 a lot and it's funny seeing the missions generate weather that would have grounded early aircraft full stop.
