You could argue the word "simulator" is way over used in computer
entertainment software as a whole: Sports simulators, driving/racing
simulators, as well as flight simulators. I think it all comes down to the
definition of the word simulator. Flight Simulator implies replicating the
dynamics of the science behind the process, which is plainly modelled only
very simply in a "game." Perhaps a better definition is Flight Emulator.
(The dictionary definition being "to strive to imitate.") Or maybe just
Flight Imitator.

Not a bad idea. (grin)
