AlI can say is that tail dragging turned my landings from average into
much better than that. I recommend it!

You cannot compare flight simulation landings with landing a plane in
the outside world. *I have done both and speak from experience.

Please preface statements like the above with such caveats as I don't
think A is aware you are not talking from experience of flying a real
plane nor hold a PPL.

I have no way of knowing the credentials of anyone who posts here, but
we should be intelligent enough to decide if suggestions make sense to
us, even if coming from non-pilots. There are zip lock bags in my
airplane because they are great for people who unexpectedly get motion
sick, and that idea came from a pax who carried some of those, just in
case.

Suggestions are one thing as he has been giving all along

Saying that he has landed a tail dragger is another or that his
landings have improved without full disclosure is a diservice to those
who may not "know the full story" (readers coming to here for the
first time). :-) How can he recommend something he has never done in
real life? One shoe doesn't fit all.

I have landed tail draggers in a sim with no problems but you wouldn't
want to put your life in me landing a tail dragger in real life. I
can't feel the plane in the seat in of my pants in MSFX which is
paramount for in my eyes for flying and landing a tail dragger. My
tail dragger experiences amounted to turns and straight and level
flight and I barely could maintain coordinated flight without looking
at the TC. He makes it sound in what I quoted that he flies a plane
in real life and it's just as simple as ABC.

As you know, book smarts and street smarts are two different things.
It appears to me flaps has the book smarts but his street smarts are
not up to snuff and sims just don't get him up to speed when sitting
in less then sterile conditions of a desktop computer.

Yes, actually I am a pro sim person, but not for learning how to land
a plane. Mouse inputs don't give you that feel you need before
meeting terra firma.
