i referred to a dictionary, its the usual way. Simulations in context are
computer models, games are competitions with winners. MSFS models aircraft
control reactions, navigation systems and the world, it has no gameplay.
(It bores gamers). You can say its not the sort of simulation that you
train pilots on or test airframe design (but then no one thought it was)
but that doesnt stop it being a simulation.
I've no big objection to "simulation game" if you want to be sloppy about
it, but I object to "its not a simulation" it clearly is.
