Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

MS, don't let post like this bother you. ANY interest in aviation is
good. Real pilots are in general one of the most POLITE bunch of people
you'd ever want to meet and hang out with. It's a a close knit
community. A lot of GA pilots like to hang out at the local airports
and do nothing but "hanger flying", i.e. sit around and talk about
aviation (and other topics).

Try it sometime, and join a local chapter of the EAA (experimental
aircraft association). You'll learn a lot more from talking to folks
than from reading posts like Mad's.

Not to worry; I am refractory to personal attacks.

I agree.

Why are so many of the ones accessing USENET so rude, then? Or
perhaps they are not actually pilots (?).

Is that anything like ... simulation?

I live in Europe, so I don't really have those options. I try to read
things on paper and online, and I fly in simulation, and I fly in
network simulation (VATSIM) to practice ATC and to have some level of
unpredictability in the simulation.

Mxsmanic,

You need to recalibrate your rudeness sensor to include yourself. It
will help. I guarantee.

Where in Europe do you live? Depending where you are, I could put you in
contact with local experimental aircraft associations and/or simmers who are
well versed in simulated flying.

Paris.

Thanks, but here they would probably all speak French and talk about
French flying, which doesn't interest me that much because I want to
learn U.S. regulations and fly in English. I usually like to fly in
the American Southwest when I'm simming.
