Can MSFS Kill you?

No, but flying IFR when non-instrument rated can. Let's sue MICROSOFT
'cause an unrated pilot chose to fly cross country in IFR...

Sure it was over confidence, but did he have that confidence because he
had read on the internet that flying MSFS was just like real life?

SUE THE INTERNET!! IT'S THE INTERNET'S FAULT!!!

It included the note because the accident pilot's instructor mentioned
it.

Wow (again)

It wasn't MSFS that killed him it was the mind set that simming is just
like the real thing.

SUE FLIGHT SIMULATORS! SUE BRAINS!


Actually, it was the ground that killed him. EVERYTHING KILLED HIM but the
non-IFR pilot who flew VFR.

A gun will kill you as well, if you point it at yourself and pull the
trigger. :-)


If you point it a cop you don't even have to pull the trigger!
