Today, my mother gave me hell for my "video game addiction". The "game" in question? A professional flight simulator program that I'm using to complement my flight school lessons. FML

Try explaining to her the purpose behind it. Surely she'll understand once she knows why you are on it so much.

I'm curious what flight sim you are using also. Many years ago when I was taking flying lesson I stopped using flight sims because I found it annoying how inaccurate they were. "As real as it gets" my ass...

It's Microsoft's Flight Simulator X (MSFS10) with many study level addons and an ATC network (VATSIM) :)

Is Google Earth? Cause that shit's addictive.

Did she know it was for your flight school?

Ignore her. She has no idea what she is talking about.

My son plays video games allll the time & some are pretty cool. I enjoy playing with him, Mortal Combat X & Assassins Creed are my faves just to name a few. Instead of bitching at your kids take part in what they enjoy.

Damn. I have the same mom. Also. Are you dooing like a degree on top of your license? I want to be a pilot too

Well right now I'm in high school in a dual enrollment with ERAU for a professional pilot degree.
