Then I think your simulator does not really simulate flying of an
airplane properly.

It does, but sometimes minor differences throw people off, especially if
they've come to depend on them. A good pilot, however, can adapt very
quickly. The most obvious differences in this respect are somewhat different
control mechanisms and a slightly different visual experience.

I cannot consider a simulator to be worth anything
if a real life pilot cannot fly it without any problems.

If real-life pilots could fly simulators without any problems, you wouldn't
need simulators.

What is a tin-can pilot?

A pilot who has experience only with small general-aviation aircraft.

Yes, but what you are talking about is not simulation of flying
because according to you, real life pilots cannot takeoff or land in
your simulator.

Some can, some can't. On a good machine with appropriate controls, they
should all be able to do it, or something is wrong.

The simulator does not depict the beauty of the Rocky Mountains in any
way.

It's not a scenery simulator.

I have hiked all over the Rockies and its not possible to
replicate that beauty of Romo in a simulator with fake images.

It's not a hiking simulator, either.

Maybe so but that is how we learn to become better real life pilots.

No, that is how one discovers that he is a poor pilot, or that he is in a
situation that he will not survive.
