Flight sim inquiry raises terror alert

i like how the british press/tabloids are always knocking the US down, but at least we allow the people defend themselves if their homes are being robbed. ;)

You do have to admit though. This was pretty damn funny and over the top. :)
Actually i see very little humor in this. I get quite worried that these flight sims are so good that you can get credit for learning from it at certain flight schools. Knowing that right now flight sims could be educating terrorists makes me mad. But is there a point at which those who program flight sims should alter their programs so that it isnt so realistic? Worth debating.

What frightens me is that someone can actually get credits at a real aviation school for playing MS Flight Simulator. Makes you wonder about that flyboy in the cockpit next time you board that Airbus Jet eh? :oops:

p.s.: You sure about flight schools letting you get credit? That sounds to me like you being allowed credit for a Drivers license by winning "Nascar 2003" or "Redneck Rampage". :LOL:

Yes, cnn interviewed(after 9/11) several flight school teachers that said that flight sims are incredibly realistic and can be used for credits. Im sure theres some way of them checking your progress.
