What does it matter? I play city simulation games, and want them to be realistic, because I find the realism fun. Not because I plan on building my own city.

Wanting a realistic flight simulator that gives the real sensation of flying does not mean you must then become a pilot.

And unlike any city sim game I'm aware of, X-Plane is actually used as a research tool in real aerospace engineering applications.
