    Differentiating between reality and gameplay...

    I saved several hundreds of pounds buying Microsoft Flight Sim, yoke, throttles and rudder pedals and UK Airports software to practise for my Instrument Rating, achieving it in the minimum numbers of hours. Great thing was downloading the realtime weather before I went off for the lesson, practice the IR trip on the simulator and then do it for real.

    Looks like the US army following this lead as well.

    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

      You'd be a prime candidate for that new TV "Reality Show" Space Cadets

          That actually looks like it could be a good show - how they managed to fool those into thinking they were going to space is quite intriguing.

              "We've taken a big risk with Space Cadets, and we don't know who will have the last laugh," said Channel 4's factual entertainment commissioning editor Angela Jain.
              Mind you, it will be interesting to see how they keep up the pretence. It would be a disappointment if the candidates are total retards.

                Space Cadets

                B*gger, can't get Channel 4 here and it sounds like an interesting program to watch. Especially with all the conspiracy theories that man has never actually set foot on the moon...

                Anyone care to tape it and stick it on a server somewhere as a Divx file?

                    Yes. It was Microsoft Flight Sim 2004. And?
