But it's not flying. It's making pictures on a computer screen.

Point A to Point A.


I consider that an advantage, as the objective is to fly, not to get
somewhere. Going from one real-life airport to another would be a
huge inconvenience unless I actually had a legitimate reason to
travel, which I virtually never do (I hate travel).
