Here's an idea - save up some money - and take an hour of dual
instruction in a real plane - should only be about $100 to $175
depending on where you live. Then report your experience. You might
even find that people will be more inclined to hear what you have to say.

Since you love simulators so much, find a school or instructor with a
frasca simulator and spend an hour in it. It is loggable sim time - as
opposed to msfs.

As others have pointed out - this is res.aviation.ifr - not
rec.simulations.ifr or other similar game newsgroups.

I own a plane. I fly - I fly IFR. I own MSFS and I have used it. I
actually have experience about stuff you pretend to know about. Your
semantics and pedantry are amusing, but still have no basis in reality.

I'm not talking about a game.


And worse, lecturing people based on your small world.


The more I read from some pilots here, the more I recognize how clueless some
of them really are.


I have no doubt you can fly the bejesus out of
MSFS, but it is a different world - that of real flying
in real airplanes.


I'm less and less convinced of this.
