Actually, like I said, I teach in both simulators AND in airplanes,
and you're full of ****.

Not all pilots have this type of mental block against simulation, however, and those who do not may enjoy simulation greatly

Exactly, but that doesn't make you any less full of ****.

Most pilots cannot afford to fly a real airplane during all of their waking hours,

I get paid to fly airplanes but you're still full of ****.

I note that those who refuse to take simulation seriously never enjoy it,
whereas those who do take it seriously find it great fun

Actually people who take simulation seriously sweat profusely.
Occasionally they become "airsick" which is why there's a barf bag
within arm's reach. One time, a guy took it so seriously he freaked
out and yanked the throttle control right out of the simulator
cockpit.

There is a serious side to simulation though, and is clear that MX is not well versed in the subject. *

How so?

Go hop in a Cessna or a Piper and learn for yourself. Until then, you
remain full of ****.
