Default CNN uses "special software" for KLEX simulation: Microsoft Flight Simulator

Well, while MSFS is indeed a flight simulator, its flight models are not
very realistic. They have a couple of different flight models which each
plane simply tweaks. Now, if they had used X-plane (which has a
certified variant) or an actual 3-axis sim, then I'd be quiet. Until
then, unless they are using it to simply "roll" an aircraft down the
runway...it's more trash and fear mongering from CNN.


But their goal is not to provide a realistic simulation for the
animator, their goal is to provide a visual to TV.
