of flight simulation in terms of how it has helped you as a pilot?
For me, setting up altitude height in the circuit and especially on final.

Learning to fly by reference to the instruments.
Not at all for the sport biplane airplanes I fly.
It lets me try things I really, REALLY shouldn't do in a real airplane.
There's a porn analogy here, but I think Hal would cancel the posting...... :-)

I don't mind that part, it's when Hal sets me down and makes me write "I will not be an ****** on the forum page" two hundred times. That hurts.

Simming also allows those of us with a lifelong passion for aviation but not the discretionary income to become a real pilot .... to fly. A good control yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedals, an IR head tracker, a fast PC and a large monitor combine to provide a truly enhanced desktop flight experience for about $1500.
I'm given to understand that airplane ownership or rental and a Sport or Full pilot's license has been known to cost just a 'wee' bit more than that - LOL

Until my best friend died (a real world pilot/instructor), it was a way for us to get together and chat*, as well as explore the continent (occasionally the world) while connected via multiplayer, and to enjoy a semblance of flying. Health had grounded both of us, and he was in Dallas and I'm in Denver.
