It saved me a lot of money for learning instrument procedures, and it was a great tool. But nothing about MSFS *makes* one a REAL pilot. I'm a newbie pilot with a fresh commercial certificate and a still wet instrument rating. But from the little bit of trudging around the skys I've done, there's no way to simulate the real thing. I've "flown" level D airlines sims before, and they don't even compare to flying around in a real C172. Everyone knows, however, that if you haven't flown an airliner, you're not a real pilot. A C172 doesn't count--or does it? Yes, it does, fjukktard. The "real" qualifier is a moving target, depending on whom you're talking to, and who you are. I don't know that having a few hours in a C172 would count much among 747 pilots. Everyone wants someone else to look down upon. Fortunate that you;'re here then, isn't it? No fighting over who has to pull bottom rung. Bertie |
