Weight and balance, ballast, trim when flying alone

Practical? That implies usefulness.

Yes, it does.

An airplane can be flown somewhere to accomplish something.

No matter what you "fly" in MSFS, you remain in place.

Travel is not my objective. In fact, it's one of the things I don't like
about flying for real. One of the practical aspects of simulation is that I
don't have to actually go anywhere when flying.

MSFS may be entertaining, or even quasi-informative, but "practical"
is not an appropriate adjective.

Speak for yourself.

Neither is flying.

I suppose you simulate work, trips to the dentist, and exercise since
those are things you don't like?

Asserting that flight simulation is "practical" for no apparent useful
function is unreasonable.

It's been fun, but I'm heading out to fly a Real Bonanza over the Real
surface of the earth in the Real atmosphere. The refresh rate is
awesome!

Be sure to turn crash detection off.

Ooow! An attempt at wit.

OTOH, he's probably so far removed form reality at this stage he probably
believes it.

I undertake those trips because I have no choice. For exercise, I walk,
although I have neither the time nor the money to do that currently, so I
haven't been walking.
