Just wanted to make a nitpick here - you shouldn't confuse "real" and "realistic". Those are two different words for very good reasons. A sim can definitely be "realistic" - there many different versions of "realism" out there, all of which really boil down to how well a game convinces the player that what they are doing is plausible and applicable to the real world. Realism is not reality, it's just a really good, believable representation of it.
Just a pet peeve of mine, though usually because of the opposite reason (when people start arguing that because they play a "realistic" simulator, they really know the "real" thing)
