Microsoft flight simulator a game or simulator?

some people tell me microsoft flight simulator 2004 is not a simulator, they say is a "game" what is it really?Microsoft flight simulator a game or simulator?
It is both a game, and a simulation. And, the first respondent was incorrect: there are now objectives in Flight Simulator as of version 10, and there is scoring (in the racing part of the Acceleration add-on for example, where you are timed on your race and there are winners.)



But, not to digress ... there are missions in Flight Simulator X where you must chase UFOs. Such a thing is not possible in real life, so in that way, FSX is a game.



Also, there are other missions in Flight Simulator X where you have to find a downed pilot by searching for him by air using procedures that real life Civil Air Patrol personnel use to find downed aircraft. So, in this way, FSX is a simulation.



So, the correct answer is that it is both a game and a simulation, depending on how you use it.Microsoft flight simulator a game or simulator?
Microsoft Flight Simulator is NOT a game, it is indeed a SIMULATOR that allows you to simulate piloting various aircraft in various conditions and areas. There are no "objectives" other than mastering the ability to fly one of the many aircraft in real time under VFR and IFR conditions. Many seasoned "Gamers" find Microsoft Flight Simulator a challenging experience.
