Duh. Can you not parse "airborne". You should try balloon simulation,
Anthony. Given your inexhaustable supply of hot air, you should be a
natural.

Airborne = in the air. Hot-air balloons qualify, and yet I see no useful
correlation between balloon experience and fixed-wing powered aircraft
experience.

Ever been in a turkish prison, johnny?

MS flight sim prepares no one for weather-related issues with flying,
does it? You see no correlation, but if someone points one out you will
deny/dismiss or otherwise refute their comments with nothing but your
own fantasy-world "facts." Why even bother.

It does, although the model is imperfect. Flying in complete IMC in MSFS can
be useful for IFR practice.
