Ok lets re-read it..

Hmmm.. Sorry but even after the re-read it appears you are under the impression that no PC flight sim has ever implemented a 6DOF FM, which is just not true.

Granted you did not come out and say they are lying, you just implied it.

As for mistaken..

In light of the fact that many PC flight sims have implemented a 6DOF FM, it appears that you are the one that is mistaken, not I

First thing to note I never said a 6DOF is reality, hence the name 'simulation'

What worries me about what you said is that you seem to think a CFD FM is equal to reality, which is just not the case.

I have this saying, no sim ever was, is, or will be perfect (read equal to reality)

Kind of sums it all up don't it?

Depends on your definition of ideal..

I think it is safe to say that most people here would agree that a simulation that takes 3 hours to simulate 3 minutes of flight time is NOT ideal..

Your mileage may vary?
