Today I'm sat in VR [1] with MSFS [2], flying over photogrammetry scenery streamed from the cloud, using consumer flight controls [3] modelled on a real Boeing 737 [4], talking to an air traffic controller in Portugal (I'm in Seattle) [5], checking my Nav charts [6] and checklists [7] as I go, just having a good time playing pilot for fun, as I like the buttons.
Things have come a long way in the last 40 years; will be crazy to see what the next 40 do.
(I've included the links for people not familiar with the hobby as that's always interesting)
