You are indeed quite right here, any simulator will give you the opportunity to fly from the R/C or drone operator configuration, and yes you not only have limited perspective, you have "NO" biofeedback from the aircraft itself, the "seat of the pants" aspect is missing, you can't feel the vibration, control sensitivity, hear the airflow over the aircraft. My old Daddy in what was likely the only time he could have been accused of being a poet said to me as I was attempting to learn to fly our old 172 made this point. Some days when your in the airplane all you feel is the control yoke in your hand, other days you feel yourself all the way from wingtip to wingtip! When you become the flying machine, when you can feel the airflow over your own wings and tail, when as you approach the stall and the airframe begins to buffet, and the empennage starts to shiver and quiver, when you don't have to look at the ball to know your skidding the aircraft, thats when you are flying, and no control room on the ground is "ever" going to give you that feeling!

I have to admit, I'm kinda excited, I was just about ready to send out a search party for you siege and Mr. Scratch as well, but I figured you were likely on a beach somewhere enjoying spring break? LOL EH What!
