Acceleration forces, vertigo and knowing that making a wrong decision could cost you your life - have never been effectively dealt with in simulators. Give me an example. 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. See above. 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. They are there mainly for the sake of realism, and not specifically to induce stress. But no mater how good they become, they will never be able to stress you out like the real thing. If you reach the point in real life that you feel stressed, you're already in trouble. 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. It's more than ten times more expensive, actually. Where I live, getting a PPL costs about $15,000-$20,000. 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. I've surprised people before. They think I'm like them, and they're wrong. 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. Ah, the real truth comes out. You want the ego trip; there's no altruism in your motivations. I'm just the opposite. I don't have an ego to stroke, so I don't care about that. I just like to exchange information. I like to learn new things, and I like to teach others anything that I know. Most of your post has been off-topic, and I've skipped those parts mainly. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
