you can't have absolute realism in a simulation.

I'm looking for a better solution, because I want absolute realism.

I can do that almost anytime.

But I want absolute realism for the kids at the Childrens Museum. If
I could take 'em all flying, I would -- but, since that's not
possible, I want to give them the best "taste" of aviation possible,
in the sim.

For the Children's Museum, I think you'll need a way to dial the realism up
and down. Absolute beginners aren't going to do well with realism set high
and will become frustrated, whereas those with more experience are going to
find low realism disappointing.

I suppose you could divided kids into groups by experience level, and then set
the realism before each group is accommodated.

Zooming off the runway is frustrating if you're not used to rudder control,
but not having the rudder control when you need it for something after gaining
a bit of experience is just as disappointing.

ah, Jay. By definition, a simulation is not real. And "absolute realism"
requires fidelity in ALL aspects (kind of hard to sim aerobatics).

I think he meant he can get in atlas any time.

Yep.

Boy, I'm having a real clarity issue lately. Must be this weather...

IF you were IFR rated, you could do this newsgroup on instruments.
