MS Flight Sim As a Training Tool

It's my understanding is that MSFS has no Physics engine it is table based
where as X-Plane does have a Physics engine. The better add-on planes for
MSFS just have more data in the tables but still there is no way a table
based simulator can have every possible combinations.

There are multiple ways to achieve the same goal.

Nether X-Plane nor MSFS tracks every molecule of air flowing around
the aircraft. Therefore neither of them accurately models aircraft
behavior.

Even X-Plane's physics engine isn't as good as that in some of the more
complex games such as "Half Life." It really surprises me that someone
hasn't come along and used a modified Half-Life engine in a flight sim.

You don't install code just to meet someone's arbitrary expectations
of what type of code is required, you install it to accomplish your
purpose. It doesn't matter what kind of engine you have, as long as
the results are correct.
