Default Why The Hell... (random rant)

You do realize that MX is an emotionally disturbed individual has has
never flown in a small plane and thinks that Microsoft Flight Sim is
real, don't you?


Well, he's an interesting personality. He was active in the rec.photo groups
around 2003 . Interestingly, over there he was opposed to new technology and
was heavily against the then-new digital cameras, while here he advocates
total reliance on electronic digital systems in aircraft. A surprising
change of attitude.

I won't go any further diagnosing Mx. But I do use MS Flight Sim sometimes
myself, mainly to rehearse the VFR route and approach to airports I haven't
visited before. It's a good tool for that. But for getting the feel of
flying most of the other sims I've tried are better. Too bad none of them
can replicate that feeling when the seat suddenly drops away from you in a
bump ;-)
