I don't have a problem with the word game, only when someone insists MSFS is not a simulator, which it clearly is. Well, there is also Eurotruck-SIMULATOR, Farming SIMULATOR, etc.

February 12, 20251 yr The OP needed the video he linked on, to CONVINCE himself that MSFS is more then just a game "Title: This convinced me that MSFS is more than just a game. That stated, I have the impression, TILL he saw that video he wasn´t sure if MSFS is a game or a simulator. 😉 Now he is..... And I think he think it´s still a game but wanted to be using a sim. LoL Actually an own topic for a discussion if it is a game or sim.....that is a bit popcorn to me.....or is it popped mais.......damm So, I leave it for now.... And to be sure.... Even if I make a laugh out of this.....I do respect EVERYBODIES impressions and feelings. Enjoy flying.....you all.... See ya Edited February 12, 20251 yr by mpo910 Regards, Marcus P.

February 12, 20251 yr I think the sim/game distinction doesn't matter so much and goes way back. Say I find an old computer and a box of floppy disks in a basement. I dust it off, plug it in, and voila, it works! I find a flight simulator amongst the disks. I try some aircraft carrier landings in a 747 and feel like I'm playing a game. I hop into a Cessna, set the visibility to 1/4 mile, practice shooting some ILS approaches with the squiggly little needles. Also some IFR cross country's, noticing the needle sensitivity increases as I get closer to the VOR. Also noticing the DME reads about a mile when I'm directly overhead, since I am about a mile overhead. I try out all sorts of different winds and take note of things like heading and track, and I feel it's a useful training tool, a simulator, and it's really not bad for being so old.

February 12, 20251 yr 16 hours ago, Ianrivaldosmith said: Couldn’t * Grinds on me that one. Ah yes. For me it's the various "could of / should of /would of" stuff. It should be "could have" etc and no doubt arises from the pronunciation of the written abbreviation "could've". I know grammar, spelling, usage etc changes over time, but even so, this just strikes me as lazy and word not allowed. Athough I'm probably not allowed to say that. Edited to add - not talking about non-native English speakers here, but native speakers should know better. And apparently I wasn't allowed to say that (ryhmes with "Cupid"!

Humility is learned not given Again: the differences beetween classical video-games and flight-simulators on PC's are facts and can be checked by yourself by simply asking a KI-tool what those differences are and why they stand out. Not sure why that makes you think someone pointing out to that has a huge ego. I think some are ultra-sensitive for whatever reason... i9 12900k, RTX 3090, 32GB RAM

That was just my guess to understand why some have such huge difficulties to call a flight-simulator for what it is, although if it's technically in the category of "video-games". I don't see any other reason but perhaps you have an idea? i9 12900k, RTX 3090, 32GB RAM
