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."

If that was the only comment you were responding to, then you should
have clipped the rest. The inclusion of other comments implies that you
were responding to *the post*, not some fragment therein, and it is quite
reasonable that a reader would assume as much. Reading comprehension is
helped by clear messages.


Okay. This is the entire post I responded to:

"
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.

"

Again, reading comprehension in this group is abysmal. I wonder if it
carries over to the pilot population in general?
