Same here. I had lots of experience playing flight sims, but in reality I taught myself a load of bad habits... I had two scary situations where I didn't realise I was about to stall relatively low to the ground. Also, combined with all of the egos at the airfield, that was enough for me to find a safer hobby.
Avid flight simmer here and PPL holder, curious to hear what types of bad habits you’re referring to. I had a similar experience at the start of my training—looking too much at the instruments—but it was pretty easy for me to get over it
