@Pace: Nice job then, they really make excellent add-ons (and the new Legacy is faaaaast, too
). As for the "false security" of MSFS crashing, it's rather the other way around for me; for instance, barely failing to get "reset" on an attempted VFR approach in foggy weather or making an airplane-shaped virtual hole in the virtual runway (and killing my merited FSpassengers pilot and all pax on board) after defiantly ignoring ILS visibility minima did add some pseudo-firsthand reinforcement of the obvious message "don't f... with VFR into IMC" (and a tremendous sense of relief that it's just a PC game
). And there have been many other quite instructive minor and major cock-ups during my sim hours which I don't want to repeat in a real airplane.
Full agreement with you and jock on the (lack of) usefulness for airplane handling improvement, though. MSFS (or any other PC sim, as good as the physics engine may be) is good for headwork (and R/T if you fly online) but useless for airwork IMHO
(although I like flying with Heidi in the A2A Cub 
).
