What's the use case of Flight Simulator? If it's meant to be a practice testbed for pilots, how does using (playing) it on laptop/xbox give you the real flight experience?
I use it to do a practice flight before I do a real world trip to a new airport. That gives me a much better idea of terrain and what to expect than just looking at charts.
It’s also a huge amount fun and let’s you do things that would be unsafe in IRL.
