Does your toy tell you that the Citation X is not single-pilot certified?

Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn't include a Cessna Citation among its
aircraft. It's only available as an add-on (from at least two companies).

Would you knowingly initiate a flight single-pilot in an aircraft that
requires two crew?

Not in real life--that would be illegal and unsafe, as you observe. But I do
it cheerfully in simulation.

And yet you go on and on about how "safe" a pilot you are and how you would
never do anythin "unsafe" while playing your game.

Too bad (for the rest of us) you won't give reality a chance.
That lowly C152, object of disdain, would put you flat on your pompous ass and
face-to-face with reality in approximately 0min,0sec. But alas even this would
not suffice to inspire humility and slow the affront of words to the wise
(from the foolhardy).

Do you often need a "rest" when flying the computer game? So much work?
Stress? When the autopilot is on, what's left? Sit there with your tongue
hanging out, watching the pictures? Does that help with the stress level?

Oh well ... time to fly again. I have two Citations parked at KSAN; I guess I
could fly one back to Sky Harbor. My route would be POGGI2 IPL J18 MOHAK
GEELA3, like so many other flights by others, although I'm sure you'd
disapprove. I've flown the route by following Interstate 8 sometimes (not in
a
Citation), but it's tedious. A C152 is really slow and doesn't let you rest
for a moment (no autopilot), but I did that once, just for practice. I'll
have
to think about it.

Yep, he would be so far behind the plane if he got into a real plane.
Heck, I would be surprised if he made it to the runway with the rudder
dance needed to follow the taxi line.

Quite different reaching for buttons, knobs, handles and and trying to
keep a nav chart on your lap while getting the snot kicked out of you
trying to keep the plane upright from turbulence then pushing F3 or
F8, right and left arrow keys, move a joystick or pedal once in a blue
moon from the comforts of a lazy boy.

Maybe his lazy boy has a vibrator to simulate turbulence? I can say
first hand that MSFS fails to simulate turbulence. I never had the
keyboard, mouse or joy stick move from it's original position as I
reach for it to make some type of control input adjustment.

Or is the truth of the matter is that MSFS is not flying an airplane.
Sheez.

MSFS simulates turbulence, but not with physical motion.

Then it doesn't simulate turbulence does it? I have never been in
turbulence WITHOUT physical motion.

Yes, it does. You can see the effect on instruments and on the view out the
window. Some fancy configurations with motion bases linked to the sim will
actually move, but most people don't go to that extreme with home sims.

Reality in this case is very expensive and inconvenient.

A Cessna 152 is really easy to fly. I don't think it would be a problem for
me. However, it's too slow for my tastes (usually).

Do you often need a "rest" when flying the computer game?

I keep flights short so that I don't need to rest and I don't risk boredom. I
would do the same in real life.

So much work?

Single-pilot IFR? Yup, it can be a lot of work. You have to stay ahead of the
aircraft or bad things happen--both in a simulator and in real life.

Stress? When the autopilot is on, what's left?

Do you fly a lot of single-pilot IFR? Any time in jets?

It would floor you.

Sorry to hear about the "bad things" that happen. Must be very distressing.

Now you are challenging real pilots about their experience?
As a matter of fact, I regularly fly single-pilot IFR. My comments are from
experience, which is why the inappropriateness and incorrectness of your own
jumped out at me.

Me too. It gets me that Mx thinks that MSFS simulates turbulence.
Now imagine that LOL

Gee, have you ever gotten the leans from MSFS. Not me!

Believe what you will. Flying an airplane is not that difficult for me. I
suppose it might be difficult for others.

It can be, if you take your flight simulation seriously, as I do.

Now you are challenging real pilots about their experience?

I'll take that as a "no."

In which jet?

Beware of experience. Good experience is valuable, bad experience is
dangerous.
