Jofm5, if you have never bothered with flight sims why are you posting in this thread? Sound like a bit of a troll to me.
I read the highway code before learning to drive... does that make me a troll ?
I read alot about what I am not qualified to respond on and typically I dont respond on such items unless I can add some value. When I do I try to respect those in which I am I am responding to.
My question about whether a flight sim is worth investing in is because my computer is a vehicle to make money and improve my studies. If a flight sim is a worthwhile investment that would aid my aim to get a ppl then I may invest in one - as pure entertainment I would not bother. In my line of work I find it important to deliniate between work and pleasure - otherwise I would be playing games when meant to be working.
I am quite able to admit when I was wrong and in this case it appears I was, when I looked MS was denying the discontinuation of flight simulator but have subsequently retracted this and confirmed it. I apologise for being wrong but as I could not believe it to be true I looked and from what I saw at the time it was just a scaling down of operations.
