Default Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

That was not my conclusion.

Pilots I know to be honest have agreed that MSFS is useful for
training and a reasonable simulation of flight. Pilots I know to be
insecure blowhards have insisted that it is neither. I have noted the
correlation.

If you were as smart as you seem to believe you might on your own
correctly assume a cheap game simulator approaches realism, but that's
all it does, or can do.


All simulators merely approach realism in a strict sense, but if the
part they simulate is the part you want or need, that's all that
matters.
