You're joking right? FSX is nothing compared to flying a real 737 or any other airplane. It is a good try to be realistic, it isn't though. Not at

I guess you don't know what "realistic" means. I didn't say "real."
"Realistic" means it follows certain rules to make the SIMULATION work like the real world. All the basic principles of flight are programmed in, so,
for example, if you don't have enough lift, your aircraft will stall and crash.
But you're still sitting in front of a computer screen, so a "crash" doesn't kill you and hundreds of other people, nor does it cause millions in
damages. So, no, it's not "real."
Is it as realistic as a $1,000,000 simulator? No, and you didn't pay $1,000,000 for it. But it's much more realistic than a game.
