As I've said, it depends on what scenery you have installed.

That is truly the ultimate proof that you have never seen the real scenery;
but intuitively understand that your simulations would never be quite the
same if you ever experienced reality.

For some locations, I have scenery that is essentially identical to the real
thing. Usually it's around airports, since highly detailed scenery for the
entire world would require a massive database (and would be very costly to
obtain, even if that amount of data were available). Most major airports are
available as highly-detailed add-on scenery.

I have experienced reality, since I've already been in a plane, like many
people. Given the compromises that the sim entails, I'm surprised that it
resembles reality so much. I can even fly by pilotage in the sim, with default
scenery.
