I hope some of the pilots around here give your comments some serious
thought.

I HOPE NOT.

Y'all need to not only read the questions this guy is raising, but the
way he is responding to REAL LIFE answers to his questions and making it
like sim flight is the same. It's not in any manner shape or form. This
is what is raising my dander and other pilots as well.

I mean get real, VFR position reporting in a game of MSFS? Read his
responses and the way they are written, you would think he was near check
ride time. Not only that, he is questioning things he has never
experienced. It's one thing to question something with a question but
this guy is challenging pilots responses based on MSFS experiences. The
two just ain't the same, no manner, shape or form.

I don't think there is a fellow pilot out here who would not go out of
their way to help a fellow student pilot or another pilot (myself
included).

There is nothing wrong with armchair flying, nothing wrong with non
pilots posting questions, but to act like spatial disorientation is a
life or death situation in a MSFS world is wrong (another thread this
goofball posted in).

To make his responses seem like he is just about to take a check ride in
a real plane is wrong when in reality he is playing a game.

Again, don't hesitate to post questions even if you never touched a GA
plane, just don't act like playing MSFS is like a real plane or real
world flying.

It's not and will never be.
