You can also fly a 747 in Flight Sim. Good luck landing a real one.

The question was "How real is it?", not "How hard is it?" After years of playing SH3 you could also walk into the Type VII U-boat at Laboe and know where everything is, if not how to work all the switches. My point was not whether you could do it or not, but how it compares with the real experience. It doesn't, but that's not what we play these games for.

As I said, if it feels real to the player, that's all that counts.
