Would say the same thing about a sim like 'Falcon?'

It sometimes feels as if those of us who want realism and historical accuracy were to say the converse of that such as 'If you don't want realism or accuracy go and play 'Battlestations Midway or something.' we would get labelled as realism Nazis or similar.

I want my sim to actually simulate something. Otherwise, why bother?
