^^^. What these posts are suggesting is NOT recommended. This implies negative learning and that is not good. The sim is (or should be) properly calibrated for aerodynamic handling in the flare and landing. Millions of dollars and tons of flight test data from the actual aircraft are input into the simulator's "brains". If you really want to know, read 14 CFR Part 60, particularly the Appendicies. If you "stop flying" the sim, give up on flaring properly, the chances of exceeding parameters and "crashing" the sim go up exponentially. The sim does in fact measure descent rates during flare and touchdown. If the descent rate will break the jet, the sim will let you know it.
