So it invalidates your contention that a pilot trained to fly a real C-172
could just sit down and fly a MSFS C-172 because the simulation is so
realistic.


A lot of pilots manage to do this. What's their secret?

The simulation is not realistic for many reasons and the pilot would need
MSFS specific training to make a lot of stuff work.


Hardly. A lot of pilots can just sit in front of it and fly it.

MSFS does not taxit like any real airplane.


That depends on the aircraft.

A MSFS C-172 does not taxi like a real C-172, nor do any of the other
MSFS airplanes I've tryed.


Exactly which aircraft have you tried?
