And until you get it, you will never understand any of this, unless you someday learn to enrich your knowledge with the advice shared with you by most of the members of this group, instead of practicing your denial skills simply because reality doesn't support your desires. I have flown several sims, and found them very realistic, useful and enjoyable. But again, until you have actually experienced flying a broad range of real aircraft, you will never have the ability to understand just how unrealistic your questions and assumptions are. Actually I'm very surprised. You sound like a very intelligent person, and have obviously spent a great deal of time reading and flying your sim. But why you are having such a terrible time understanding the concept of actual hands on experience strongly suggests - you are somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 to 12 years old, have a serious problem understanding concepts beyond the written word, are simply a troll that enjoys the damage he does to an otherwise very useful forum, or some combination of the three. But whatever the reason, you have no grasp in how ignorant you prove yourself to at least 98% of this group, who have the experience and understanding you so desperately lack. |

The reality is that there isn't any particular obstacle .... that's why nobody has described what the imaginary "obstacles" are. The rest of your post follows the standard pattern of one personal attack after another. You cannot make something true by repeating it over and over in a loud voice. You cannot invalidate criticisms of your unsupported assertions by launching continual personal attacks against the parties who make them. If your opinions reflect reality, and they are not merely the result of emotional desires or wholesale adoption from people you regard as unquestioned authority figures, then you'll be able to support your opinions with explanation and reasoning based on premises that all parties accept. If your opinions do not reflect reality, you will have no way of supporting them, and if you hold those opinions very dear, you will become upset and attack anyone who questions them. This is fairly fundamental to human behavior and forms a very reliable pattern. The only way to escape it is to think for yourself, instead of believing what others say without question, and to base all your opinions and facts and reasoning, and not on feelings and emotions. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

The reality is that there isn't any particular obstacle ... that's why nobody has described what the imaginary "obstacles" are. There is no possible way to explain the value of actual experience. If a person can't understand the difference in fantasy and reality, or simply refuses to do so, there is nothing you can do to enlighten them. The rest of your post follows the standard pattern of one personal attack after another. You cannot make something true by repeating it over and over in a loud voice.

My guess is you are a 10 or 12 year old intellectual. Because the value you seem to place on actual experience, strongly suggests you are not old enough to have any experience with anything, much less something as complex as piloting an aircraft.

If your opinions do not reflect reality, you will have no way of supporting them, and if you hold those opinions very dear, you will become upset and attack anyone who questions them. Same answer as above. This is fairly fundamental to human behavior and forms a very reliable pattern. The only way to escape it is to think for yourself, instead of believing what others say without question, and to base all your opinions and facts and reasoning, and not on feelings and emotions. The only pattern I see in anyone's participation in your posts, is your complete denial of reality as opposed to your perception of it. |

If a person can't understand the difference in fantasy and reality, or simply refuses to do so, there is nothing you can do to enlighten them. Yes. Even when you point out to them that they can't seem to substantiate their imaginings, they persist in believing in them, as I've already explained. Then find a way to certify your age for us. Hard as it may be to believe, age is not a factor here. My guess is you are a 10 or 12 year old intellectual. Over the years I've found that people who agree with me usually assume that I'm close to their age. People who don't agree with me always think I'm much younger or older. Whether they are correct or not is purely a roll of the dice. Because the value you seem to place on actual experience, strongly suggests you are not old enough to have any experience with anything, much less something as complex as piloting an aircraft. I place a considerable value on experience, but I don't accept "experience is the difference" as an isolated assertion in itself. Any assertion that cannot be substantiated is suspect. The only pattern I see in anyone's participation in your posts, is your complete denial of reality as opposed to your perception of it. Whereas nobody else here could possibly have that problem, eh? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

If you have a problem with that statement, then let's here it. If a person can't understand the difference in fantasy and reality, or simply refuses to do so, there is nothing you can do to enlighten them. Yes. Even when you point out to them that they can't seem to substantiate their imaginings, they persist in believing in them, as I've already explained. We believe in what we have actually experienced. We have actually been there, done it, and learned from the actual experience. We didn't simulate it and imagine it. Most of us have actually flown light and heavy aircraft, as well as the machines that simulate them. We are not the ones imagining here, you are. Then find a way to certify your age for us. Hard as it may be to believe, age is not a factor here. Any hard evidence, because I'm still a long way from convinced. My guess is you are a 10 or 12 year old intellectual. Over the years I've found that people who agree with me usually assume that I'm close to their age. People who don't agree with me always think I'm much younger or older. Whether they are correct or not is purely a roll of the dice. Got any personal references? Where are they? Because the value you seem to place on actual experience, strongly suggests you are not old enough to have any experience with anything, much less something as complex as piloting an aircraft. I place a considerable value on experience, but I don't accept "experience is the difference" as an isolated assertion in itself. Any assertion that cannot be substantiated is suspect. None of us get paid to substantiate anything to you or anyone else. If you ask for advice and then insist on challenging it, the burden is on your shoulders to find data that proves it wrong. Not on ours to prove it correct. That is the value I personally find in the Usenet. It's a public forum. If someone gives me poor advice, someone is usually handy to provide data to the contrary. The advice you have been given by so many, is being scrutinized by hundreds, if not thousands of people. If your position on the value of simulation was so well founded, you would have a lot more supporters I can assure you. There are far too many people here that use simulation for all it can possibly offer them, to insist they all simply have a negative attitude towards them. The actual flying experience just gives them the added perspective to realize, that no matter how sophisticated simulators become someday, it will never be a complete substitute for all actual experience. An excellent training tool, yes. But a complete replacement for actual experience, no way. The only pattern I see in anyone's participation in your posts, is your complete denial of reality as opposed to your perception of it. Whereas nobody else here could possibly have that problem, eh? Well if your assumptions are correct, where are all your supporters? I'm not trying to flame you, or argue with you. I just see you ask questions that very clearly indicate lack of experience, and would be happy to help you understand. But like the rest of us, I have no intention of writing an 800 page novel to convince you of the simplest concepts. Acceleration forces, vertigo and knowing that making a wrong decision could cost you your life - have never been effectively dealt with in simulators. And they not only contribute to, but can actually multiply pilot workload to the point you overlook some of the simplest and most routine tasks. Tasks that can cost you your life. That's why full motion cockpits, parabolic displays, sounds and vibrations are so valuable to simulators. They do everything possible to detach a pilots thoughts from the fact he is not flying the real thing, and help induce stress and pilot workload. Even an opportunity to practice procedures that just can't be safely done on a training flight. But no mater how good they become, they will never be able to stress you out like the real thing. Because deep down inside the pilot will always know it's a simulation. And that will always make one of the many differences in actual and simulated experience. And that's a very big difference you simply refuse to accept. But that's only one difference. When indeed addressing all the critical differences between actual flight experience and today's simulators would be a worthy topic of an entire book. But what's the use. If you really want to argue your position from a strong stand point, part with half the cost of a new computer, and take a few of flying lessons. Even learning to solo in a simple aircraft is hardly beyond anyone's budget. It the US it's very comparable to the cost of a new PC. Much less all the gear required to outfit a decent home simulator as well. And a fraction of the investment a lot of very patient people here have made, in fruitlessly helping you understand the difference. If you ever do, I seriously doubt we would ever hear from you again. At least under your current moniker. You would quickly realize the difference, and the weakness of your current perceptions. But you just what to debate. When what you should be offering not me, but all those that have come before me, is a sincere amount of gratitude. For taking so many hours of their time to help you understand something you could easily realize with a minimal investment on your part. They care enough about people and aviation, to welcome those without the benefit of their experience. And like it or not you owe it to them, to accept their advice for the questions you ask, or leave their forum in peace. Good day. |
