Heh...too true...

I like the fact that in X-plane if I do something dumb like extend flaps when going too fast they fall off, landing gear will break if I land too hard, pulling too many g's will redout, overloading the wings will break them, etc...oh..yes...my personal fave right now...landing the 172SP on the nosewheel will make a nice crunching sound followed by a really interesting taxi/braking session.

What's REALLY fun in X-plane (besides trying to fly helos...gawd) is setting the failure(s) to highest settings, and then trying to fly as various instruments and components are crapping out on you at an alarming rate...
