No, the one you play with is a game.

What makes my simulator different?

You are discussing a full-motion simulator with drop down oxygen
masks. And you have to ask how it differs from MSFS on your PC?

No, I'm discussing the attitudes engendered by the simulation. Why is it okay
when a "real pilot" treats a simulation realistically, but not when a
non-pilot does so?

because the REAL pilot is doing it for the purpose of flying a REAL
plane -- to practice cockpit fam, procedures, CRM, etc. In that case, it
is NOT a game, but a tool.

How does that make it okay? Why is it not okay to simulate for the sake of
simulation, with no intention of flying for real?

You asked what the difference is -- I explained it. One is a training
air -- the other is just a game.

If you like simulation for the sake of simulation alone, and have no intent
of flying, you should direct your questions to a sim group, which would be
more in line with your interests.

Because you say so?

Look at the URL for Microsoft's own website for the product,

http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulatorx

Note the word 'games' in the path.
