it is a matter of semantics..

I've stopped posting answers for him, but do to help the
real student pilots out there.

Hopefully others will follow so the noise level will go down. I have been
suggesting this for the past month.

I sure am doing my best not to respond *smile*.

Ignore him and he should go away once everybody does not respond to his
nonsensible replies.

Peer pressure can do wonders in this case by virtual of silence or no
replies.

What's the big deal? I have learned a lot from the threads he started.

I´m also only a disgusting armchair 'pilot', and I wouldn´t dare to
post any question about real life flying in this highly sophisticated
group, but: Amen to the above statement!

I hope some of the pilots around here give your comments some serious
thought.

I HOPE NOT.

Y'all need to not only read the questions this guy is raising, but the
way he is responding to REAL LIFE answers to his questions and making it
like sim flight is the same. It's not in any manner shape or form. This
is what is raising my dander and other pilots as well.

I mean get real, VFR position reporting in a game of MSFS? Read his
responses and the way they are written, you would think he was near check
ride time. Not only that, he is questioning things he has never
experienced. It's one thing to question something with a question but
this guy is challenging pilots responses based on MSFS experiences. The
two just ain't the same, no manner, shape or form.

I don't think there is a fellow pilot out here who would not go out of
their way to help a fellow student pilot or another pilot (myself
included).

There is nothing wrong with armchair flying, nothing wrong with non
pilots posting questions, but to act like spatial disorientation is a
life or death situation in a MSFS world is wrong (another thread this
goofball posted in).

To make his responses seem like he is just about to take a check ride in
a real plane is wrong when in reality he is playing a game.

Again, don't hesitate to post questions even if you never touched a GA
plane, just don't act like playing MSFS is like a real plane or real
world flying.

It's not and will never be.

Hi Andreas!
I think a lot of the agro towards Mxsmanic is due to the fact that he
doesn't even try to research the answers himself. he just expects others to
spoon feed him the answers. (forgetting for a moment that he likes to argue
points with those who do take the time to help him!) If he came with a
question that suggested that he had actually attempted to find his own
answer to, but he just wanted clarification on, he would have less people
ignoring him.

Hi Crash,

agreed; the manner in which he is posting and the justification of his
posts are quite questionable, but you cannot possibly deny that the
posts he started contain valuable information.

The signal to noise ratio people complain about would greatly diminish,
if those who dislike his 'personality' would simply start to ignore him
altogether, as has been said endlessly already. After all, most of the
'noise' in his threads consists of the contributions of peolple
discussing the pros and cons of his posts/questions which, admittedly,
has nothing to do with aviation, be it simulated or RL. This obviously
is also true for this very post ...
