That's hysterical. Flight Simulator was an incredible product back in the day. My father was a weather, IFR[0] certified small plane pilot. He used MS Flight Simulator to train to get his license back after several years of having let it lapse and to train for his IFR certification. To this day, other than watching him play Pac Man at K-Mart in the 80s, I had not before, nor since, seen him play any video game on his home PC. [0] Most small plane pilots have basic licenses - VFR - or Visual Flight Rules. IFR is for pilots who have instrument ratings. It's not all-together rare, but not necessarily common and is usually reserved for pilots who fly in a more professional capacity, as my father did. He was certified to fly a single engine aircraft (he flew a Cherokee -- 6?) and had more hours on him some years than some commercial pilots.
