Is IF Realistic?

No, you can’t land a real plane after playing IF for however long, it’s a lot more complicated than that lol.

Actually yes you can. To the extent that it’s made very simple for you.

Use a joystick? Than you can control the aircraft. There might be a lot more involved in the real world. But when it comes to the basics you can.

The physics are 99% accurate on most aircraft. You’d probably have a better chance being ATC after IF to be honest.

Yes but also you have to have some very strong nerves to be needed to do something like that

Only IF? No. But add in a Iraq-Iran war ace pilot to your family and 3 hours of Mayday daily and some time on a REAL flight sim and you can do a takeoff and auto-land in an Airbus A32X. For me though, I only can confuse an A320 crew with my questions.

Not even close, know how to Follow taxi instructions (Taxi to rwy27 via C K M)/Reuqest IFR clearence /Localizer Freq/FMC/APU? Know how to follow a departure and an arrival? There’s A LOT more to an airliner than Autopilot and lights. I try to do a short flight on Vatsim with FSX every other day while it is pretty realistic I still don’t think it’s as realistic since you don’t feel the pressure of landing an actual airliner. Now is IF good for a mobile sim? Hell yeah (Good physics and graphics) but it’s not as near to an actual airliner.
