Default Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004

OK, I finally came to the conclusion that you are an idiot. Thanks for
the wonderful discussion. Have fun playing with your games.

Here's an idea - save up some money - and take an hour of dual
instruction in a real plane - should only be about $100 to $175
depending on where you live.



I was considering that, but then it occurred to me that the instructor might
be like many people in this newsgroup, and I wouldn't want to be stuck
thousands of feet in the air with someone like that.


Then report your experience. You might
even find that people will be more inclined to hear what you have to say.



Why? The experience wouldn't really change anything.

In reality, they would find some _other_ initiation ritual to separate
themselves from myself.


Since you love simulators so much, find a school or instructor with a
frasca simulator and spend an hour in it. It is loggable sim time - as
opposed to msfs.



I'd want a full-motion simulator, and apparently those are rare for general
aviation. If it doesn't move, I may as well stick with MSFS; just adding a
plastic imitation of a cockpit doesn't change much.
