The "diaper" is not a lot of fun to wear but is in a lot of ways the same as what the NASA people wear. Its for liquid use only, and you are put on a "low bulk" diet a day or three before hand to keep from having any solids looking for a home.
If you can fly the sim, you can fly the jet. They make the sim just a bit more difficult so that if you can pass the check in the sim they are sure you can fly the real thing.
