Intro flights are typically well below $100.

I've already logged nearly a hundred hours in my simulated
Baron, for far less money than that.

But you have not flown for even one minute. 30 minutes in the
air is worth hundreds of hours behind a game.


Not to encourage the village idiot, but you are completely wrong.

Tell that to the military which makes extensive use of simulators.
The Navy uses MSFS to train new pilots.

(rest snipped for brevity)

Sorry, but it's your usage of the example that is completely wrong. The
Navy is not using MSFS *in lieu* of flight training, the point under
discussion here.


The poor reading comprehension skills of posters on this group never ceases
to amaze me. Nobody said the Navy is using MSFS in lieu of flight training.
I was responding to the completely wrong statement that "30 minutes in the
air is worth hundreds of hours behind a game."
