If your prefer simming over RL, you should go back to the sim NG's and leave the rest of us alone. Why? The activity being simulated is piloting of an aircraft. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

There are real pilots on the sim newsgroups that can and do help non-pilots understand the differences between real life flying and simulated flying. If there were no newsgroups for discussing flying simulations you might be within reason to discuss that subject here. But since there are at least two newsgroups that I know of where MS Flight Simulator is directly on topic per their charters, you really have no plausible rationale to continue to raise such topics here. |

There's nothing magic about being a real pilot, despite what pilots like to believe. I know that it irritates them to face this.

He never said there was.....but just between you and me, I believe that flying a real plane is the most magic experience you can have, next to the birth of your children that is. I don't expect you to understand that, as I doubt either scenario will ever eventuate for you.

I consider the birth of children to be extremely mundane. After all, it occurs better than twice per second worldwide. Perhaps I'm simply not that easily impressed. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I can think of 1 second that could have been better spent! The result of which has indeed become very mundane. Crash Lander |
