With an answer like that (I.E.: Something we already knew, in a less than useful format) I thought I had you pegged... ;-) Bertie has flown both state of the art sims and large aluminum structures, and been paid well to do so. I know. Jeez, it was a *joke*. (Note to Self: Never tell engineer jokes in a room full of pilots...) :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" So this engineering student is walking across the campus when another one cruises up on a new bicycle. 1st student, "Where'd you get the Bike?" 2nd student, "You know, funny thing, yesterday just after class, this beautiful cheerleader rode up to me on this bike, stopped, took off all of her clothes, and said Take what you want!". 1st student, "Good choice, the clothes wouldn't have fit."

State of the art, full motion sims do a credible job of replicating flying. I am a pilot and flew fighters. That particular qualification is quite cool IMO (and yes, I'm sure there are others very similar in this group). |

Compact, objective, clear, to the point. I might spell out Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's also redundant, he has already stated the same elsewhere in this thread. And anybody who's read the group would know that already anyway. I think you guys have it covered, if not smothered. Now all we need is a bot. All you need is to include a very brief summary of your past and present flying experience in your posts when discrediting someone for lack of flying experience. Lots of groups include regular authors that don't have the expected qualifications. And that's the way it is, IMO. |

Good luck and have fun. Listing experience on Usenet is really a lost cause. Anyone can state anything about experience and it can be true or false. The best and only way to deal with Usenet properly in my opinion anyway, is simply to post information and data. Those who know will know immediately what is right and what is bull crap. Those who don't know are well advised to check out everything they read on Usenet with competent authority before accepting the poster or what has been posted as fact. Those newbies hanging out on a group like this one for any length of time soon learn who to trust and not to trust by watching the reaction and counter posting to those who post on the forum. Basically the old rule about Usenet still applies and has merit even today. Come on in....lurk for a while....get a handle on who's who and what's being said; then enter the group by ASKING something rather than telling people what you know. If you know something that you'd like to contribute, by all means do so, but those doing that right away should at least TRY and use a little tact :-) DH -- Dudley Henriques |

Listing experience on Usenet is really a lost cause. Because it didn't make you rich and famous? I read your post about your early USENET days frustration with listing experience. To be clear, I didn't say a list, I said "a very brief summary of past and present flying experience" like maybe 10 words or less. Anyone can state anything about experience and it can be true or false. The best and only way to deal with Usenet properly in my opinion anyway, is simply to post information and data. Those who know will know immediately what is right and what is bull crap. Or obviously contradictory hogwash. The reply by 150flivver stated "I am a pilot and flew fighters." With all your past piloting experience, Dudley Henriques, that qualification might not mean anything to you, but it means a lot to me. And if it were not true, regulars would have jumped all over him. at least TRY and use a little tact :-) DH -- Dudley Henriques Path: newssvr14.news.prodigy.net!newsdbm05.news.prodigy. net!newsdst01.news.prodigy.net!prodigy.com!newscon 04.news.prodigy.net!prodigy.net!newshub.sdsu.edu!b order1.nntp.dca.giganews.com!nntp.giganews.com!loc al01.nntp.dca.giganews.com!nntp.rcn.net!news.rcn.n et.POSTED!not-for-mail NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2007 21:28:05 -0500 Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:28:04 -0400 From: Dudley Henriques dhenriques rcn.com User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (Macintosh/20070728) MIME-Version: 1.0 Newsgroups: rec.aviation.piloting Subject: Force feedback versus real piloting?
