Default Simulators

Not really. The fact that I simulate isn't necessarily relevant to the
conversation. Remember, virtually all aspects of simulation work just as the
real world does ... that's the point. Pull back on the yoke and pitch
increases. Extend the gear and drag increases. It doesn't really matter if
it's simulated or real.

However, if the Yeager-wannabe cannot tell that I'm talking about simulation,
either the simulation is very good or the Real Pilot is pretty bad. Usually

I
think it's the former.


Let's just try; Most people are not as dishonest as yourself. You can fool
someone for a short time, but it won't last long.

If you tell a real pilot you fly a Citation X, he has no reason to doubt it.
Lots of people fly this airplane. But when you tell him you fly it alone, and
you are "not interested" in CRM or flying with others, he will understand you
are full of it. By the time it gets to where you REALLY don't know whether a
Beech Baron has an ejection seat, well then he's the one having fun at your
expense. Not that you would notice.
