This article is from the Flight Simulators FAQ, by with numerous contributions by Bob Wittick rwittick@msu.edu others.
rec.aviation.simulators is one of many sister groups that are under
the "parent" group rec.aviation. This USENET news group is specifically
for the discussion of air and spacecraft simulators, whether they be
PC-based, Workstation-based, or "real". Mostly, you will see talk
about PC sims, since most of us can't afford (and consequently don't
have access to) the real things. For those that are interested in
discussing the theory of flight simulation, you may also want to
check out sci.aeronautics.simulation.
