I do not understand why so many of you real time pilots take such a
negative look at simmers.

You added an extra s at the end of that sentence. There is only one simmer
who bothered me.
He doesn't live in my world anymore. I do see the occasional post about
him, but nothing written by him,
or any responses to him. Once he pollutes a thread, my computer hides it
from me.


I have always loved aviation. For me, because of physical limitations and
age, I will never be able to fly a real airplane alone.


Just don't write yourself off too quickly. Find out if your physical
limitations will really
prevent you from flying.

*****I can't speak for Dan, but I have had 3 strokes, and would not be able
to physically get into an aircraft.





I understand that it will never compare to rt experiences, and I also
understand that idiots like mxmaniac do not represent us simmers. It is a
game, but it does give us some little feel about flying.


I have nothing against sims, but sims don't like me. I can't land a sim
plane without crashing. I've
landed hundereds of times in a real plane without doing any damage.


I have a friend who flies for Continental on 737's from Newark,, He is
impressed with simming and says it is a good way to learn the basics, but
not a substitute for RT.


I enjoy listening and learning from you folks and I know we might post
stupid questions at times. Maybe we are jealous of you. I am. So please
bear with the ignorance.

Ask away. You'll probably get plenty of answers.
