I mean get real, VFR position reporting in a game of MSFS? [...]

Clearly you know very little about MSFS usage these days, at least when
enhanced with add-ons. If it really were just a game, you'd see it on
game consoles.

If it looks like a game, talks like a game, I'd suspect it's a game even
by MSFS. http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulatorx/

Many pilots use it for navigation and IFR practice. Perhaps you get to
fly in clouds all the time, but others get a bit rusty with their scan
and MSFS is good for that. (NOT seat of the pants flying.)

Glad you added the last sentence..... All MSFS is good for is the scan
and IFR procedures. Doesn't replace the real deal IMC get the leans
feeling.

Quick Google will clearly show how I feel about sims and real flying, but
to save you looking it up, I see no problems with MSFS simulator as long
as it is used to compliment the real deal flying.

As stated in my prior post, it does not, will not, will never replace or
come close to simulating the physiology of flight, and that my friend is
what keeps us returning to the skies.

Other users, armchair fliers perhaps, often have others acting over the
net as air traffic controllers, etc. So yes, position reporting is
quite possible.

Quite possible, but based on Mx's postings, sure doesn't sound like he is
doing this. All he is doing is trolling these newsgroups. READ HIS
RESPONSES arguing points he has NEVER experienced.

I only hope every pilot recognizes this and ignores his postings and
bring the noise level down.
