Yes I am well aware of what FSX is.

I am also aware of what it is not. It is not an example of what can be achieved in the realm of real flight simulation. Put another way, FSX is a study sim in modern commercial flight procedures. Nothing more.

Holding up it's graphics as an example of what can be done, or in some way insinuating that they are appropriate for any kind of simulator that really models flight is just plain laughable.

Not saying FSX does not serve a valid purpose, or is enjoyable to a large number of users.

But comparing it to a title that tries to model actual flight, as our little sim does is really just over the top.

And yes, I'd still shoot down a 747 in FSX if it were possible to do so.

Just for fun.
