Mercy, don't stimulate conversation with the troll, ... please???

No provision is made for simulation of hypoxia of altitude. If the aircraft
is accelerated, the simulator does simulate the visual effects of positive and
negative Gs.

So MS flight simulator is not realistic then. That's what I wanted to know.

That depends on what aspect of flight you wish to simulate. Even full-motion
simulators certified by the FAA do not simulate hypoxia, unless they are
high-altitude chambers (but those don't simulate anything else).

So, now MX is an aerospace physiologist? What was it like riding in the high
altitude chamber? What did you think of the rapid decompression?

And, how did it feel when MSFS simulated pulling or pushing G's? Did your
head get heavy? Did you grey or red out? Or perhaps you've ridden in a
centrifuge to nine G and experienced this as well.

Of course, you've heard or read about these experiences, so this makes you
an expert. On the other hand, I (and many others) have had the opportunity
to actually do these things.

You can read or play with your computer all you want- it may give you
knowledge but it will never give you experience. At the end of all your
diatribe you still will have zero flight hours logged, and even zero sim
time logged. In other words- no flying experience at all.

MSFS simulates the gray out and red out. Obviously, there is no motion.

Does MSFS simulate wake turbulence? From the little that I have seen
it does not seem to. Are there other regular PC based simulators that
do?

FS 2004 does not, nor does the built-in AI ATC delay for wake turbulence. I
don't know about FSX or other sim software.

Ok. So its much less realistic than I thought because wake turbulence
avoidance is a very important concern for real pilots.
