Here's one he posted today in VATSIM in response to someone who
pointed out that in trains is a "dead man's" button which, if
controls are not touched every few minutes, set off an alarm. Said
Anthony, "Aircraft have this, too, at least in real life, although it
doesn't seem to be simulated, at least not by PMDG." He really
doesn't know **** from shinola.

The 747-400 has three levels of alarm. All appear as PILOT RESPONSE
on the EICAS, the first being an advisory without an audible alarm,
the second a caution with a beeper, and the third a warning with a
siren. The 777 (at least, not sure about others) also has this alarm,
and I presume it works in much the same way. I'm sure it's
configurable by operators.

This from someone who had to ask where the handle for the ejector seat on
his Baron was located. And from someone who tells us about flying his
Baron from Phoenix to Las Vegas "In the real world, when you have VFR
traffic in your airspace that you're not talking to, does the traffic
usually follow established airways, or fly mostly direct to obvious fixes
(like VORs or major waypoints), or does VFR traffic tend to be all over the
place?"

How about your boasts of all your flying experience and how you prefer IFR,
Anthony? If you had any experience whatsoever, why did you need to ask in
VATSIM today (4/25/2008) "When flying IFR under ATC, am I required to use
only altimeter settings provided by ATC, or can I listen to the ATIS of a
nearby airport and set my altimeter that way?" Any IFR rated pilot knows
the answer and why. Hell, private pilots know the answer and why while
still student pilots. You don't. You're not a pilot. YOU DON'T KNOW ****
FROM SHINOLA. YOU ARE AN IMPOSTER. A POSER. A PHONY!
