![]() "-b-" wrote To paraphrase, the programs are not completely without usefulness, but they are not simulators. That's not what he said, he said they weren't "flight training devices". The FAA has a definition for what qualifies as a "flight training device", or FTD. They do not have one for "simulator". Webster does, and MSFS seems to fit that very general definition: "A device, data processing system, or computer program for representing features of the behavior of a physical or abstract system." Notice it doesn't say "all features" or "exact behavior" because those are qualitative. MSFS is indeed a flight simulator, albeit a poor one. |
