Well, you can separate reality from fantasy. You didn't come to this
forum saying something like, "last night I flew my 737 IFR from LAX to
SFO. On the way I buzzed the beach. Today I think I'll do acro in my
P-51." These kind of statements belong on a game newsgroup, which is
where MX should post them. Here they are misleading and OT.

Agree 100%. My statements about the Kiwi notwithstanding, MX needs to
clearly state upfront that he is not really flying, lest some newbie
here presume otherwise.

Or else what?

If simulation is so different from real flight, it should be instantly
obvious that I'm simulating. If it's not obvious, then that aspect of
simulation is probably not different.

I flew last night for several hours. Unfortunately, I had an
accident when someone who hadn't bothered to contact the tower
decided to take off on the same runway in the opposite direction.
He flew right over me, I hit the runway, and skidded across the
taxiway onto the apron of Terminal 3. The aircraft was a write-off
but my pax and I got out safely. One of the risks of online
simulation is that ill-behaved pilots will pop into existence on a
runway and take-off without ever even noticing you on short final.
Oh well. Thank goodness I had a spare Baron waiting as back-up.

Yes, you really need your meds adjusted.

Although MX is wrong (again) in not clearly stating that he "flew" in
virtual reality, until you see how realistic a good flight simulator
can be, it's hard to imagine how all-immersing (and real) the
experience can be.


Jay, we've had this discussion before. MSFS is very pretty and with a set up
like the Kiwi is very immersive. But look at what Anthony wrote and where he
wrote it. It would be like me going into one of the military newsgroups and
saying, "last night I killed 24 Nazi soldiers" because I played Call of
Duty.

Anthony seems to becoming MORE delusional as time goes by. At least in his
earlier posts he didn't say he was actually flying he made the separation
between simming and flying even if it was to say there was no difference.

If you examine his posts, you see he carefully chooses inflammatory words,
and his responses are usually completely inappropriate to the topic at hand.

I don't think he's delusional at all. He's very good at what he's doing. He
tosses out subtle insults and waits for the response. He moves from one
newsgroup to another, tossing out his 'bait' and seeing who bites.

If he had a boat, it would be called 'trolling'.

I'm going through the phases of MX. At first I just thought he was stupid.
Then I was pretty sure he was just a troll. But I'm really begining to think
he is indeed crazy as a **** house rat.

ROTFL! That is just an outstanding comparison....nothing more can be
added, after that...!

So what? Is it flying? No, clearly not.

Just last night, my A&P mechanic was "flying" the Kiwi (our flight
simulator at the hotel -- see it hehttp://www.alexisparkinn.com/flight_simulator.htm)
into Martinique. It was simulating a 737 in almost every meaningful
way, and as he skimmed low over the beach, the room was silent. (Last
night was Movie Night at the inn, so there were a few movie-goers
still watching.) Every one of us was holding our breath, waiting for
the wheels to chirp on the runway.

Yep Jay but most of you 'flying' the Kiwi are pilots and the things
pilots see in simulations (as your example above) that relate to their
experiences...
I hope your kiwi has the long beak that ours do :-)
