MSFS simulation is nothing like really flying.

I didn't say it was nothing like really flying,


It isn't anything like flying.

my niece's boyfriend at the time was a mad keen flight sim flier.
on the last visit she sidled up to me and asked Unk' if he'd take the
boyfriend flying in the Tailwind.

unk takes him out and taught him how to fly straight and level and how
to make gentle turns at a fixed altitude. the boy did ok in the 40
mins we flew. he started with no real skills and was quite passable in
the end.

his comment on landing. "bloody hell the simulator is *nothing* like
real flying"

my friend the bunyip is not exaggerating.
