That statement is not based on facts and is not helpful.
Fact is, MS flightsim is damn good. See my signature below, I know what
I'm talking about. It doesn't have FAA approval merely because you need to
certify the flight controls with the software, and FAA certified
simulators (i.e. you can log some of the hours in your flight log as
'simulated instrument' flight time) are for IFR (instrument flight rules)
training only, while MS FS tries to be useful for VFR flight (visual
flight rules) as well. Otherwise they don't need to change a lot if they'd
want such certification. It helped me quite a bit in my own training.
Also, I've never seen it crash. The flightsim itself seems to have been
programmed well.
