The difference is that the 'Kiwi' is populated by pilots who give

throughout their flying careers both as PPL's and CPL's and testing
the different solutions possible in safety.

That's not a difference at all. You're confusing the user with the
simulator. The simulator is the same. No matter who uses the
simulator, it will remain the same. Therefore, if the simulator is
adequate in one instance, it is also adequate in another. It cannot
be simultaneously good and bad.

For the 6 year old it -is- a game!

But not for everyone else.


No, for you it's definitely something else

How many simulated dollars have you caused in aircraft repairs, medical
treatment costs and insurance payments?

That's difficult to assess--but I'm talking about real money, not virtual
money.


Why? you'll never fly and you'll never have any real money.

thats 2 hours a day, everyday.

Yes. Actually it's more like many hours on a weekend, and far less
during the week, but it works out to about 2 hours a day. A typical
flight is an hour in the air or so, plus planning time.


You make no "flight" fjukwit.

And you still can't fly a plane.

Since I've never tried to fly a real plane, it's impossible to know whether I
could fly one or not.

I soloed in 10 hours.

That's okay; it's not a race.

At the time, the plane and instructor totaled $18/hr.

I wasn't around in World War II.

You've spent 720 hours, and what have you accomplished other
than indulge your fantasies?

A great deal of enjoyment. I like flight simulation.

You can't fly.
You never will fly.

That has not been established, but it doesn't really matter, since I prefer
simulation.

$352 per hour to rent a plane? What're you comparing this to,
renting a Caravan?

No, I'm just in Europe, where 250 euro per hour is not uncommon (and
with the current exchange rate, that's a lot more in dollars).


Well, since you don't have any of either, it's immaterial.


And where I live, you can get the Private *and* Instrument ratings
for around $10K.

Where I live, the private pilot costs between $21,000 and $28,000 to
obtain, and an instrument rating is another $28,000 or so. Some
pilots actually find it cheaper to go to the U.S. for their IR than to
pass it here, although a U.S. instrument rating has some restrictions
on it in Europe (in particular, you can only fly a plane IR if it has
a U.S. registration).


Nope. Wrong again.

No it isn't.

You're not even watching the race on TV, fjukkwit.

That would have been in the seventies, not WW2, fjukkwit.

Because you can't fly.

Pardon me if I expose a tiny flaw in your plan:

*He's a blathering twit.*

This will almost certainly cause a prospective employer to be unenthusiastic
about adding him to "the team."

Please consider this before you take any action.

Thank you,

Can you get an inflatable girl in MSFS?

You mean MX's wife, Sally?

MX says she's got all the same buttons as my wife. But her buttons aren't
nearly as fun as my wife's.
