And that is why a sim will NEVER be like true flight. With a sim, if
you crash, you crashed and you are ok. With a real airplane, you
crashed, and that's IT! No more you. A different headspace, attitude,
whatever you want to call it.


A good simulator can very rapidly make you forget that it's just a
simulator. This is hard with MSFS because it doesn't move or provide
the physical environment of a cockpit, but if it did, you'd start
mistaking it for real pretty quickly.

I've been in several "real" & full-motion simulators, and none of them
confused me about the reality of the experience. It is not the same at
all.
