Yes, all of (or almost all of) the airlines are real on flight simulator x.
An affordable way to get flight simulator training is to use the MS Flight Simulator program. This mimics real life flying.
You can join the on line flight community of GAMESPY which is accessible through the Flight sim programme You can also join one of the 3 flight simulation networks at NO COST They are Virtual Skies, Vatsim and IVAO Each offers something of the same - but there are opportunities in all not just to fly but to be trained by their in-house trainers as a Air Traffic Controller with their own free software which they allow you to use. This will let you control real people who fly virtual aircraft on their network
Simulators are designed to copy or imitate reality. They are designed so that one can practice things using computers before they go out to do something in real time with real equipment. The common simulator or a flight simulator.
Yes there are book like "Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots: Real World Training Book by Jeff Van West and Kevin Lane-Cummings"
A computer programme created to give a real world experience of flying aircraft
It depends on what skill level you are. I think flying a plane in Fligh Simulator is WAY easier than the real thing.
no its governed to allow for real time travel
It is considered a simulation because it is made to be like flying a real plane, and to have a fully realistic system.

From Jabbawockeez9Flight simulator is technically not a game but a simulation - although it can be used as a game, its primary use is to simulate actual flight, to make it as real as possible - you can use it very simply by just loading an aircraft ready to take off, push all the controls forward, take off and just have fun but the real beauty of flight simulator is you can make it almost like the real thing - you can add scenery software that looks almost like the real thing down to every road and river, custom aircraft that teams of designers spend years to develop to fly and look ultra realistically - you can do all the preflighting, checklists, etc just like the real thing - and you can add a full array of controls and real gauges, multiple monitors etc for an incredibly true to life flying experience you could also get on the net and fly with others, in virtual worlds with live airtraffic controllers.Microsoft actually makes two flight sims, the normal one called flight simulator which is a simulator for general/civilian aviation - the other is combat flight simulator which is a military simulator that simulates air combat as close to reality as possible - when "played" to simulate real air combat it is a simulator, when used with rules, to accrue points and such it becomes a game"Flight Simulator" is a PC-computer game for playing at home. This game can be purchased for any computer and has great graphics for the more advanced computer. You load the software and fly the aircraft using your mouse and the keyboard. Or you can buy hardware that simulates the control yoke of a commercial airliner or small Cessna OR the pistol grip that simulates the grip on a fighter jet or helicopter. This type of hardware will require more powerful computer to use.Flight Simulator software allows you to practice (a) the basic flying skills and aerobatics and (b) navigation skills. I believe commercial pilots can use an advanced version of Flight Simulator with select lessons to allow them to keep up with their ratings.My favorite is practicing to soar in a glider by catching thermal up-drafts. I would think that this would be good practice if you ever thought about taking Soaring lessons someday.For more info on flight simulators see related links.Hope this answered your question(s)
A simulator gives you the feel of the actual aircraft, but it won't be the real thing. For example, a simulator will contain all controls which an actual aircraft does, but it will have a display running some video and you have to move controls accordingly. If you crash in simulator you get one more chance to make a new start. Real aircraft is a real thing. You crash, you are dead (Maybe along with some more guys and burning up millions of dollars).
