MSFS has objectives and arbitrary rules.


Examples?


All of it's rules are objective and arbitrary, you ignorant ass. It's just a
game.


Doesn't the vendor indicate it's a game?

So do I.


You have stated in the past that you did not.


I contend it cannot be done, and as evidence, I offer that
it has never been done.


Lightning cannot strike my house, because it never has.


You're slipping. You forgot to snip the words 'evidence' and 'offer' to my
statement sound as stupid as yours.

Thank you for playing. Please try again.

The vendor, Microsoft, lists Flight Simulator as a "computer game".
This from its first version through the last.


Even MX agrees: (From his blog)

"In my own case, I tend to prefer simulation games, such as Flight
Simulator, or The Sims 2, or Second Life."

Anyway, we have to admit it is possible to do.
I've personally seen it done. Karen Black did it in 1975. In a 747 no less.
You just talk on the radio, and the guy tells you what buttons to press.
When it comes time to land, this guy jumps out of a heliciopter and climbs in
the cockpit to land the plane.

And that, as MX explains, is "as real as it gets". . .

The no visual reverence problem was solved by Sperry eighty years ago.


Then why do pilots still crash regularly after entering IMC?

But G1000 is so generalized that now you can no longer buy a small or
medium plane without it.


I'll worry about that when I'm in the market for an airplane.

I'm sure that more traditional avionics are available for those willing to pay
for them. I'm not willing to entrust my life to a single unproven ball of
software.

Calling it a game avoids a lot of liability.
