Ten Ways That Flight Simulator is Better Than Real World Aviation

Featured Replies

1. My Carenado C185F costs $19. A real Cessna C185 costs $147,000.2. My virtual cockpit is always 70 degrees Fahrenheit.3. I can ignore Air Traffic Control if I want to.4. I can have broad daylight at 1:00 AM.5. If I don’t like the weather, I can change it.6. I can fly 737’s, F/A-18’s, and Lockheed Constellations. Nobody is going to turn me loose with planes like that in the real world.7. I can fly anywhere in the world without having to actually go there. Who wants to travel for 22 hours just to fly a 20 minute flight in Australia?8. I can go to the bathroom when I want to.9. I can fly airplanes that lost their airworthiness certification fifty years ago.10. When I crash an airplane, I cuss and start a new flight.


Lose not thine airspeed, lest the ground rise up and smite thee.

Lol, nice syd. Don't forget my personal favorite..."I can drink and fly and not lose my license"

I can prepare, and cook, a 3-course Sunday dinner, whilst draining a bottle of Californian Red vino, and fly around the World at the same time, on Autopilot...Whistle.gif ....!Paul....LOL.gif ...!

I can practice approaches. For free!You mentioned some good ones. This time of year in the Carolinas the cockpit starts off in the morning at 32-40F and by the end of the day is 90F+. I HATE working while sweaty...
