Default A real life pilot's first sim experience

No, because it's objectively so. MS has tried to make the simulator more
game-like in FSX, apparently out of a desire to shift the market from the
loyal but small market of simmers to the much larger (but much more
competitive and volatile) market of gamers. I think that's a bad move, but MS
is increasingly tending towards bad moves these days.

A long history as a ****-poor simulator has nothing to do with it's poor gaming
quality.


It's a very good simulator, but it is a poor game, because it has no objective
or purpose other than to simulate flight.
