And so by your definition that's real life.


No, by my definition, it's a good simulation.

In a good simulation, you forget that it's simulation until it's over.


I recall MANY years ago talking with a programmer from NASA, who had worked
on the original moon landing simulations. All this ran in real-time, i.e.
a two week launch to landing really took two weeks. He said after a while
it would get to seem so real, that when the lunar lander finally touched
down (all simulated, of course) everyone in the control room would break
into wild cheers and start looking for the champagne bottles. G

Hopefully, simulation should be accepted and cheaper than real flying
hours.
At the moment, it may be more expensive to do simulation than flying
for real.

If they can reduce the cost of getting PPL license to less than 10%,
it will just cost more than 3 times getting a car license. It will
truly make the flying car a reality.

Malaysia already promote one house one plane. I surely love to see
that day.

Actually hardware cost-wise, it is already affordable. Only
certifications and trainings that are unclear and expensive.

There were no such manned moon landings. How much proof of your
having been snookered would you like?
