This is my point exactly. Real pilots *do* have trouble with sims, even good pilots. But this ****** has decided I'm a bad pilot, and called me such to my face (at least, the Usenet equivalent of it), despite this fact. That is an insult, plain and simple, even when put in nice words. I would respectfully offer an opposing opinion to this. I've worked with Microsoft closely on their simulator program and have not experienced any "difficulty" reported from real world pilots when using the simulator. In fact, many pilots use it for practice instrument and procedures work. The idea that a real world pilot should be expected to experience difficulty in the sim because of conflict between actual flying and sim programming is in my opinion a false premise. This should not be misconstrued into a context that postulates actual similarities between using the simulator and flying an actual airplane, as there are clearly defined differences primarily concerned with control pressures. It's interesting to note that the control pressure differences should offer no problems for the pilot going from the actual airplane into the sim, but could easily cause problems going the other way. -- Dudley Henriques |
