Shrug There are a lot of people that seem to be involved in aviation
simulation. There's even this "network" of them where some play pilot
while others play controller. They actually do talk to one another.

Most of them are harmless. Some are going to become pilots; others will
remain forever pretenders.

And many of them are already pilots. Simulation is dramatically
cheaper and simpler than actual flight, and most pilots can afford to
fly only a few hours per month (or year), unless they do it for a
living.


You are right there are many real pilots that use sim and that inhabit the
flight sim newsgroups. Why don't you head back over there and leave us
alone?
