stiglr,
permit me, as one who HAS flown some of these for real, to point out that there are quite a few real pilots and flight officers who enjoy this sim. Its fun. Its a commercial success. It has a following and a community here who actually do
"lend as much effort into the flight models and the production of pits "
and make this a pretty fun and enjoyable hoby. If I want precision and realism down to complete mission planning, pre-flight, exact replication, post-flight, etc. - then I'll go to work.
That you do not is fine, your choice.
If you don't like this sim or this group - fine. Go someplace else. Its a free-market and (still) a free country and world.
but don't go play sour grapes on some other forum and bad-mouth a group who are doing just fine without you. If you like something else - go off and do that. You do not need to wage warfare on us.
just go away and be silent. You are irrelevant.
good by
