As much as I agree that flight sim problems are rarely solved with real
world flying solutions, and that he may be asking some of the questions
in the wrong group, I have to say that I am also a flight simmer! And
yes, I am learning to fly. I only have 1 hour so far, so have just begun
my journey, but just because I am not a real pilot yet, doesn't mean that
some of my curious questions that arise from the simming world might not
be worth listening to from a real world pilot point of view.
You need to remember that just because a thread has been posted, it
doesn't mean you have to read it.

(I'll vouch for "Crash" ... he's good people (in a usenet kinda
way...gdr))

The difference here CL, is that Mx:

1) Has preconcieved notions
2) Is unwilling to accept the answers he's given
3) Insists the answers he's given are wrong and already knows exactly why
(adjunct to point #1)

No one here will hesitate to inform, enlighten and help educate new pilots
if the impression is given (and it can be real or imagined...) that the
person posing the questions can actually read the info, digest it and be
grateful for the help. Hell, no one would even care if you wanted to
debate an issue provided you do so with logic and facts based on real
world experiences or observations.

Just don't come in here telling hundreds of pilots with experience levels
ranging from newbie to multi-thousands of hours that you know better than
they do because your computer sim doesn't work that way.

Best of luck with your training. Post early and often as you go...

Judging from the long threads with little new posting from responders, I
think this particular gentleman may have already run his race on the pilot
forums :-))
So far, he has me definitely needing more dual so that I come to better
understand the basics of giving flight instruction , Pete Duniho needing
more instrument time so that he understands what flying IFR is actually all
about, and at last peek...(I'm just lurking here mind you...can't wait to
see what happens next... ) whether Todd Pattist needs some help with his
aerodynamics :-))
My personal opinion is that I hope this guy never leaves. Watching this is
more fun than a human being should be allowed to have in one lifetime
:-))))))))))))))))))
Dudley

Yup!

Hi Dudley,

What ever his reasoning he's asked some good questions. Questions that
make me think about how I do things and what I see out in the real
world. So, even if it's difficult to get some things across I really
think it's worth while...and as you said there is a certain
entertainment value involved in watching the threads progress.

Having to explain something that may be contrary to the way of
thinking of the explainee and then paraphrase it is one of the best
methods of learning:-))
