It's all fun    ;)    We can go about using a 747 for aerobatics, if that makes us smile  :)

And if you choose to go about it realistically; it's challenging and even more fun...  MSFS can replicate (and teach you) a WHOLE bunch about how to go about being a pilot.

There's a big difference between getting a 737 from one place to another in one piece, and...  doing it in a way that won't scare your virtual passenger into never flying again; having the FAA not ground you, and the airline not fire you, or the mechanics not curse at you,,   :D

MSFS is more than a game, but it certainly can be run as a game.
But I think learning to fly realistically in MSFS is fun... ;D

..mmm......point is rotty ......"to each his own" or as they say" you pays yer money and you make yer choice"

Personally I could never understand why some kids at school (60 years ago) though that calculus was FUN. Takes all sorts eh?

           ....commoner ;D ;D
