I have learned more history, obscure and not so obscure and even subjects I thought I knew have been better informed, reading these flight sim forums over the last 20 plus years than I ever did in school. Quite often one piece of information leads me down a rabbit hole researching the subject to learn more about that subject which branches off into another area and the next thing I know I have spent two. three, or more hours just fascinated with what I am reading.
