Taking control of a flight simulator can be hard work when you don't know a thing about airplanes, but for retired military pilots, it seems that controlling a virtual plane is still second nature. On Reddit, user jwsimmons has been describing occasional ventures over to assisted living homes with a full flight simulator setup so that seniors, including a number of veterans, can try taking to the skies. Jwsimmons says that it's been quite successful, and that with a few tweaks to make the controls a bit simpler, the experienced pilots he's shown it to have had few problems recognizing all of the dials, throttles, and other commands needed to fly.
