As someone who's done both, I totally disagree about 100% accuracy of simulators ... I said "the parts of flying I like," not "everything." ... outside of the $50+ million dollar jobbies used in professional training. I would like to have one of those. Even the best PC based simulators are simply games. No more so than the best $50-million simulators. The "games" on PCs are better than the very best simulators available not so many years ago. I'm truly sorry that you don't realize what you're missing. I realize what I'm missing, and it doesn't justify the time or money that would be required to enjoy it. As I've said, a simulator can provide most of what I like about aviation. Of course, the better the simulator, the more fun it is, although there is a point of diminishing returns where it becomes just as awkward as a real aircraft in terms of time and money. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
