I just don't understand it, why do you need to go to such great
lengths in a simulator?


Because we, the simmers, like to simulate RL as closely as possible,
that´s the reason why we simulate RL.

A friend of mine, who is a RL pilot, too, goes the other way; he
does things in the sim he wouldn´t think of doing in RL, which is
not the way I use MSFS. Therefore, I only fly with him in RL, not in the
sim, because only RL comes close to my experience in the sim.

Yes, I know, difficult to explain ...


He flew the sim Pitts through WHERE???????

Oh! No! Not the Baltimore Harbour Tunnell!!!!!
