GPS will be more widely used once experience has proved that it can be
trusted.


You are an idiot.
Nobody would trust you with a tricycle.

His only contact with the real world is sitting in front of computer making
airplane sounds and talking to fake ATC. What does he know about flying, let
alone the real world?

He could create a VFR Terminal Area chart of the room, complete with a
4' AGL group obstruction formed by a chair and ottoman.

Cool. He could fly to the fridge..

Actualy, in old timey sims we used a "model room" where a little model
airport was created in a room and a camera flew around the room providing
the visuals.
Much fun was had flying around low level obliterating terminals and
landmarks with the low flying camera (so I've been told, I only flew one of
these things and the techies had put a safety in which retracted the camera
if you got close to crashing into something) Still, you could have great
fun suspending a dead fly in front of the camera for your buddy's
edification.
