Microsoft Flight Simulator actually has better visuals than some multimillion-dollar simulators. Does that mean that the latter are "bad" simulators? No. It just means that these latter simulators emphasize other aspects of the simulation; the relatively primitive visuals are there because the simulator is not normally used for VFR simulation, and photorealistic visuals are very expensive. You can bet that these expensive full-motion simulators don't normally simulate heiligenschein, glories, rainbows, or other minor phenomena, either. I'm always amazed at the way you see simplified simulations as more important than reality. you really are wierd. Stealth Pilot |
