Before you buy the captain sim hercules C-130

Well we’re getting into semantics there as people have different expectations and interpretations. You’re right to a degree though and I agree with you to a point, in the sense that the average simmer has a reasonable expectation that the aircraft will have a functioning cockpit haha.

But there will be some who have low/no expectations. Or, as I mentioned earlier, an unwillingness to do research, for whatever reason.
