The performace of the MSFS game is completely irrelevant to those of us whose main interest is flying real planes. You spend a lot of time discussing it for someone who apparently considers himself part of this group. Nobody in their right mind practices things that are likely to damage the airplane and possibly kill them. In that case, nobody really knows if they are possible or not, no matter how much experience they might have in other aspects of flight. As Sylvain pointed out, if you can't perform your stunt on a field large enough to accommodate B-52s, then there is no reason to think that it can be done at all. I fail to see the logical connection there. Obviously, if you have a large enough field, you can do all sorts of things. The fact that one can perform this stunt at a typical virtual airport with MSFS is sufficient proof that it gets some pretty important things wrong. I have not yet succeeded in performing it in the simulator; have you? Since you don't know if it's possible in real life, you cannot know whether the simulation is accurate or not. Personally, I trust computers and math a lot more than I trust human beings and their emotions. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
