MSFS is a marginally useful training tool. I use it sometimes to practice
an approach. But to say that it is flying defies credibility.


I offered the following definition of "flying" in my previous post:

"If a person is sitting in front of an instrument panel manipulating
controls
whose performance is based on aerodynamic principles, that's flying. It
might be flying a simulator, but it's still flying."

What's your definition?

You have to be in the air at the very least. Not sitting in front of a
TV with a bag of cheetohs.
