If your prefer simming over RL, you should go back to the sim NG's and leave
the rest of us alone.


Why? The activity being simulated is piloting of an aircraft.

There are real pilots on the sim newsgroups that can and do help non-pilots
understand the differences between real life flying and simulated flying.
If there were no newsgroups for discussing flying simulations you might be
within reason to discuss that subject here. But since there are at least
two newsgroups that I know of where MS Flight Simulator is directly on
topic per their charters, you really have no plausible rationale to
continue to raise such topics here.

There's nothing magic about being a real pilot, despite what pilots like to
believe. I know that it irritates them to face this.

Fortunately, I don't need to justify my posting preferences to you or anyone
else.

He never said there was.....but just between you and me, I believe that
flying a real plane is the most magic experience you can have, next to the
birth of your children that is. I don't expect you to understand that, as I
doubt either scenario will ever eventuate for you.

I consider the birth of children to be extremely mundane. After all, it
occurs better than twice per second worldwide. Perhaps I'm simply not that
easily impressed.

I can think of 1 second that could have been better spent! The result of
