When it starts to brake up you can't fix it, its over!
Even if you fix it it wont be the same, it is over!
You can't know how to fix it, it is over!
Even if you gauss, you can't fix it as it was perfect, it is over!
Even if you have the skills it won't be as it was before, it is over!
Just drop it, it is over!
I don't know you ... and you don't know me !
I wont hide and I wont appear
I wont forget you and I wont know you

nonsense...
You have a full click-able cockpit you have a joystick, throttle and you might rudder if you have too much money after you pay your bills and taxes...
what is missing? ok I'll tell you one, G-Force and the feeling when you are in the cockpit.
Thats it, you have the same skill as a real pilot plus you have low view of the cockpit since you are using a mouse or joystick hat or numpad to look around and slower to react on clicking some thing like you go to it with mouse. Which this makes it even.
What I want to say is that when you fly an F-16 you really need knowledge and tactics you cant even land that easy at first.

so when you say flight sim are not real think again ...
Fly safe and real...
