No worries, Rob! Like Isaid, everyone has their own view.
I personally fly 3-4 days per week real world. While I don't agree with everything you said, I do realize different things make different people tick.
In simulation people don't have the sense of movement under their butt. Dramatic scenes, colors, etc play into the eye stimulation. It feels and looks more realistic to majority of others, just not you.
Win some and lose some! I personally feel this is our most realistic iteration yet, and like I said, I'm quite experienced in the real world. If it's not for you, then so be it!
