But I feel like the sense of really flying and being able to go places would be far more rewarding. Even if it is just a prop plane.

You're probably one of these people who likes to go outside instead of playing localcarsimulator 4000

A real plane would be most definitely satisfying in its own way, but Sim planes let you perform crazy maneuvers, fly places you wouldn't be allowed to in real life, and fly aircraft that you would never even get a chance to see. Not to mention, the whole threat of death with real life flying.

Really good points that you bring up. I can agree with you fully now. Especially on the point of being able to do crazy tricks at no threat to your own real safety.
