I already do! I've had every MSFS since the mid-80's when it was
still wire frames on my hard drive-less Tandy, but as an ACTUAL pilot
it isn't near the fun and experience that I get sitting behind the
controls of an actual airplane.

And yet you've had every MSFS since the mid-80s. Hmm. It's not that
fun but you keep buying it.


Probably keeps hoping it will be fun. Like you keep hoping you'll be a
real boy someday.


This past year I've put in over 720 hours of simulation. If I wanted
to do that in real life, even on a very tiny airplane, it would cost
me $253,800 in rental fees (not counting $56,000 to get the pilot's
license and IR). Overall, even if the sim doesn't provide quite the
same experience, it provides a lot more bang for the buck. And unless
you're absolutely hellbent on experiencing some aspect of flying that
only the real aircraft provides, simulation can be more than
sufficient to deal with a love of aviation.

The situation is even more lopsided if you like to fly airliners.


No it isn't I've flown airliners more than that in a year, and
guess,what? It didn't cost me anything.

Quite the contrary.


But then, I can fly.



I also fly RC planes but it isn't near as much fun as flying a
real plane as well.

I've never been able to get into RC aircraft. When they can fly at a
speed that matches their scale, maybe I'll be more interested. Flying
at Mach 7 and pulling 350 Gs isn't very realistic.

Tomorrow I'm going overseas for business and I have to
sit in the back of a Delta flight and I'm sure that won't be as much
fun as flying the plane either.

Nor will it be as much fun as the simulator.



What a complete jerkoff you are.
