Actually I'm sitting on the ramp outside Landmark, waiting for my virtual
passengers to board. I think we'll be going to LAX shortly.

Actually you are sitting in a chair in your hovel in front of a PC playing
a game and deluding yourself.

That in itself is OK as lots of people play pretend games.

What makes you stand out as a babbling, delusional fool is that you have
convinced yourself that somehow game playing is the same thing as living a
real life and qualifies you to give advice to people in the real world.

I'm qualified to give advice independently of my simulation experience in most
cases, although the experience is particularly useful when answering questions
about simulation.

If you limited yourself to giving others the "benefit" of your "experience"
to simulation groups you wouldn't find yourself on the receiving end of
so much derision.

If you had limited yourself to answering the original question with a
simple V66 is one way to go instead of pontificating about Victor airways
having mystical properties that don't exist, you would have gotten a lot
less derision in this thread.

I see allegedly real-world pilots here giving advice on things that they
manifestly know nothing about, and I know I'm not that clueless. The most
vocal pilots here seem to be the ones who are still students or have just
barely squeaked past a PPL, and think that a little paper or card from the FAA
makes them experts.

I see someone who's experience is limited to reading the AIM on line and
playing a game on a PC that does not know what the term "flight planner"
means nor that the term "flight plan" has two meanings, nor what actually
goes into generating a flight plan trying to pretend to be a subject matter
expert.
