Perhaps it is time for you to give us a definition of game vs. simulator.
Because you seem to be saying that if you sit at a desk and use a simulator it is a game vs. going to someplace else and using a simulator when it becomes legitimate. Jarg "ArtKramr" wrote in message ... Subject: PC flight simulators From: "Anonymous" Date: 11/18/03 7:07 AM Pacific Standard Time But I still wouldn't class MSFS as a game simply because it isn't capable of offering what a real aircraft or a purpose-built multi-million £/$ aircraft simulator can. MSFS can teach you things. But it is a game that can teach you things. Of all the responses I got to my oirst post mostly insulting flames and personal attacks most refused to accept the fact that it wasn't flying and resented it being called a game. It is a damned computewr game. When you sit at your computer you are not flying anything. You are playing a computer game. It had educational benefits, biut it is still a game. If all you ever know about entering a pattern you learn from MSFS, you are in deep troub;le. Very deep trouble.If the only IFR you ever learn is from MSFS you are in deep trouble. If youi have no air time but thousands of hours on MSFS, you still can't fly a damn thing except FS. And that amounts to the fact that you have become good at a game. Nothing more. It also shows that reality is slipping away from many on this NG. Or maybe it was never there.But your post takes a more balanced view without a flame in sight.Thank you for that..
