Default Any point in buying a simulator?

You have to remember that the old version of Dave Brown RCFS came out in the days when computers ran at 33 mHz and Windows 3.1 was still in its infancy. At that time, photo-realism was not even considered a reality because computers would not ever be able to run fast enough to accomplish it. RCFS was a good simulator in its day but that day is long passed. I believe the day will come, within the lifetime of many here, when you will not be able to tell the difference between a simulator and the real thing. Contrary to a lot of opinions I have read here, we are still not there. Even the fabulous RealFlight G2 falls short in every respect.
