Default Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

You may be; others are not.

The fact is, you really have zero clue what it's really like to fly IFR.


I disagree.

A simulator (which MSFS is not) doesn't come close.


It comes very close indeed. IFR by definition is instruments only,
and without motion in a simulator, instruments is about all you have,
other than some visual cues of varying quality.

I'm asking you again....why don't
you go to an airplane, get an instructor to let you fly under the hood,
and REALLY experience what it's like?


I'm telling you again: it requires too much time and money. Besides,
I'd prefer a full-motion simulation, which is safer.
