Seriously? Not even going to comment.
That's the thing, it has a virtual (3D) cockpit that you look around in and majority of the buttons work just like in real life. For example you can hope into a dead (no power) plane and you have to go through the right starting sequence to fire up the engines (it takes more than 2 minutes ).
The thing with FS X is that you can make it as "arcady" as you want or you can fly it as if it were the real thing.
Here's a video that you can see how the 3D/virtual cockpit looks like (it's a foreign language though).

Sorry james, I watched the first one and looks like a video game to me. I understand you have to controll the "plane" as if it were real but still just looks like a game to me.
