So?


So it invalidates your contention that a pilot trained to fly a real C-172
could just sit down and fly a MSFS C-172 because the simulation is so
realistic.

The simulation is not realistic for many reasons and the pilot would need
MSFS specific training to make a lot of stuff work.

MSFS does not taxi like a real airplane, none of the
physical forces feel like a real airplane, none of the panel controls work
like a real airplane, and having a monitor in front of me looks nothing
like the view in a real airplane.


Real airplanes do not taxi alike, either.


MSFS does not taxit like any real airplane.

A MSFS C-172 does not taxi like a real C-172, nor do any of the other
MSFS airplanes I've tryed.
