Simulators have come a long way, and the mere fact that a simulator runs on a
PC doesn't make it "unreal."


It's still a game and not real.

If you play MSFS regularly, you should know it's limitations.


I do. I've listed them on several occasions.


But you don't get the biggest limitation, i guess.

I just tried you "experiment" and were scared by the low climb rate of
the Cessna in that altitude.


I can't say that I was scared by it, but I found it pretty lame. I was
heading west so there wasn't a lot of terrain to avoid.


Well I saw some pretty big hills to my left and right. Luckily, I found
a upwind to get some height to save the simday.

Even the real big flight simulators are limited to the input data they
have. And to my knowledge, not much data from unusual flight envelopes
(stalls, spins whatever) is inserted in these things.


That's why they are not used to practice spins. Any pilot who gets himself
into a spin in an airliner made way too many mistakes long before that.


But you cannot draw any conclusion for the real world from a game with a
simulated environment. Therefore judging actions in the real world from
simulated experience is inappropriate.

Simulations aren't real, either. So what?

War games aren't real. Are you suggesting that military organizations
practice by starting real wars instead?

Actually, I can draw quite a few conclusions, and they will be accurate.

There's an old school that still dismisses simulation, but it's steadily
shrinking.

The only "old school" that dismisses simulation is the simulated old school
in your simulated brain.

Real people in the real world understand the pluses and minuses of
simulation and use it where it is a plus.

Real people, unlike you Anthony, are very cognizant of the differences
between the real world and the simulated world and use simulation for a
positive result.

They are not computer simulations, they involve actual people on
manouvers.

They are not wars, they are simulations of wars.
