Question to Mxmanic

True, but it's not something that requires practice. In real life, you simply
take care to avoid wake turbulence; in the sim, you can take the same
precautions if you wish, but you don't have to.

In the sim it makes no sense to avoid wake turbulence because you will
never know if you succeeded, its an exercise in futility.

Real life is like that, too. You only know when you fail to avoid wake
turbulence, not when you succeed.

Couldn't be more wrong. In real life, you most certainly know when
you succeed in avoiding wake turbulence.

No, you don't. You don't know if you avoided it, or if it simply wasn't there
to begin with.

In any case, avoidance is the only safe procedure. Trying to fly in wake
turbulence isn't a good idea.

And yet once again, you're a contradictory in terms. You say
you strive for realism in your sim and say something like the above,
but a few posts ago, you state:

"In real life, you simply take care to avoid wake turbulence;
in the sim, you can take the same precautions if you wish, but you don't
have to.

So basically, you can't even make up your mind on what you want
to do period.

You need help, Anthony. REAL WORLD help.

If there's a plane in front of you, or anywhere around you, there's wake
turbulence. If you don't get trashed by it, you've avoided it.

Good lord you´re thick.

Incorrect statement.

I'm always surprised by posts that simply say "wrong," but don't explain why.

OK--I consulted an aerospace engineer at the rand corporation and he
said:
"The vortex does tend to drop, but pretty slowly. Even if it does,
couldn't you be feeling the vortex off the upper (in a left bank,
the
right) wing?"
