Anthony- way to backtrack! You talk about simulation being realistic, but
you don't bother to learn about the aircraft's performance or do even
minimal flight planning or think about the weather.

Oh, I do a little, depending on the goal of the simulation.

When you don't bother to do your pre flight planning you call it an experiment?

That particular experiment had nothing to do with pre-flight planning.

The people who really fly call it stupid and lazy.

Some of the people who really fly call everyone stupid and lazy, until they
are killed in an accident.

Picking up ice in a game like
you play is a lot different when you can't hold altitude over the middle of
Lake Michigan with max anti ice in real life.

I'd never be stupid enough to get caught in that situation in real life.
