Default GA is priceless

Ah, that would be a big negatory good buddy...being both a pilot AND a
user of MSFS, I can attest from first hand experience of both that MSFS
isn't even *close* to the real thing and unless and until you gain some
really real world experience you cannot even comprehend the
difference...as is painfully obvious from your comments here.


The real thing isn't close to the real thing, either. Flying a tin
can is not the same as flying big iron, and flying big iron is not the
same as flying a fighter aircraft, and flying a fighter is not the
same as being a bush pilot, and being a bush pilot is not the same as
piloting a helicopter.

Flying a real aircraft is different from flying a simulator, but
flying different aircraft in different situations involve similar
differences, so despite what some pilots with circumscribed experience
may believe, flying one aircraft in one situation doesn't necessarily
say much of anything about flying other aircraft in other situations.
