Default Can MSFS Kill you?

No, MSFS didn't kill him - overconfidence in skills and arrogance killed
him (the arrogance - I don't need no damned instrument ticket to make
this flight).

Conditions were hard IFR - ceilings at 100 to 200 feet. Not the sort of
place a novice instrument pilot really ought to be.

Sure it was over confidence, but did he have that confidence because he had
read on the internet that flying MSFS was just like real life?
