Hello everyone,
This topic might be weird but i just need to get it of my shoulders because it drives me absolutely crazy 😛
On my teamspeak I have a big discussion about whether FS is a game or not.
I get to hear that FS is a crap game all the time, my reply to that is that you can't judge in that way because it is a diffrent type of recreation, it's more of having (flight) simulation as a hobby rather then just playing a game.
They all don't play FS so I personally think they have a bad view of FS because they imagine it that you just sit with a joystick, steer and handle the throttle. While people who do play it a lot know it is far diffrent then f.e. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Guild Wars, etc.
So the main discussion is whether it is a game or not, please vote on the poll so I can finally close our argues.
I hope it's clear what I mean as it's hard to explain 😛
Please vote and let me know what your opinion is.
Thanks a lot 😀

It's a piece of software for goodness sake.
You can call it a game, you can call it a simulator, you can call it my spouse - you can call it anything you like. You can even build a little shrine in a secluded corner and start worshipping it. What matters is how you use it. Let's just keep in mind that flying aircraft is not the only thing you can do with this lovely piece of software.
Zeemon if you do a search you'll find that this has already been discussed to death not only here but at other flightsim portals as well. It leads nowhere and only starts flaming wars.
Enjoy the sim/game/software...

Lol, i didnt even know there were already people having the same argues 😛 But yea i guess your right, you can call it what you want.
But that doesnt take away that it annoys me that people see it like a normall videogame xD

Let it go emerald - he is NOT making the internet bad - we all post thoughtless at times. Instead of flaming you could spend your precious time resizing the screenshots you intend on uploading the next time.
Off you go, don't be lazy now

Here is what Wikipedia said: Microsoft Flight Simulator is a flight simulator program for Microsoft Windows, marketed and often seen as a video game
I believe in FSX. 🙂

If you are trying to gain status through posts, I suggest you ask some relevant and intelligent aviation questions.
