Bottom line: you want respect with this group of people who
have the experience you keep blasting and claim that their experience
is wrong, you have to earn it.


Anthony doesn't want respent. He wants attention.

There is a big difference between personal comments and common
knowledge. Common Knowledge: you live in Paris. Common knowledge: your
knowledge of aviation and flying is as limited as a prostitute's
knowledge of quantum physics.


What correlation is there between prostitution and knowledge of quantum
physics?

You said it yourself, that you have no
interest in dealing with the opposite sex and would rather sit at your
simulator all day/night long.


Sounds good to me.

I just pointed out the irony of that with the city of Paris.


Paris is not a bordello.

I have a life, including a significant other.


I have a life, also, but it excludes a significant other.

While I may not
have as much experience as others here, I do possess a steady
knowledge of aviation and flying; not as much as those who do it here
for a living, but enough for them to realize that I am learning, and
not assuming that anything simulated is real.


In other words, you're not a pilot, but you salivate when a pilot rings a
bell, so that's okay.

Bottom line: you want respect with this group of people who
have the experience you keep blasting and claim that their experience
is wrong, you have to earn it.


I don't care about respect, only information. I don't blast people; those who
might arguably be worthy of blasting usually do enough damage to themselves,
anyway.

But once again, I digress..


Yes, once again. It would be nice if you would limit yourself to the topic at
hand, however much I fascinate or intimidate you personally.

Is they really?

Yet you imply that he could be faking it.


Of course; he _could_ be. That doesn't mean that he is.

I was simply implying that men are not always as interested in sex as
they pretend to be. Sometimes men simulate to please women, or to
prove to their peers that they are virile and heterosexual.

Do us a favour. Fly Hooters Air and let's see how you fare.


I am very difficult to impossible to distract with mere pretty faces
or bodies.



Obviously. It's one of the obvious signs of autism..

You have no idea what's involved in flying a real airplane, let alone the
work load involved in the task.

Stick with playing your game, or go get a real life.

I have an excellent idea, and your hyperbole does not change this.
Over-the-top exaggerations do not improve credibility.

Why is it hyperbole or over the top? By your own admission you have never
flown and are afraid to fly.

You simply have no basis of comparison between playing a computer game and
the actual act of flying. Until you have done both, any pronouncements on
your part are based upon conjecture and supposition only.

This is why you have absolutely no credibility, and your statements lack
credence.

Because it is such a severe exaggeration of reality. In trying to make your
point, you exaggerate your argument until it loses all credibility.

It's rather like counselors who warn teenagers that the first time they try a
drug they'll turn into addicts and end up in the gutter. Teenagers know that
this is a ridiculous exaggeration, and they tend not to take anything they
hear seriously once they realize that the counselor has chosen exaggeration
over truth.

By your own admission you have never flown and are afraid to fly.


I have flown many times, as a passenger. I'm not afraid to fly; I rather like
flying. I don't know how you reached these conclusions.

You simply have no basis of comparison between playing a computer game and
the actual act of flying. Until you have done both ...


I have done both.

credence.


You're entitled to your opinion; I disagree with it. Others may form their
own opinions.

Just another bunch of your lies again, like saying you didn't have a blog.
Flying as a pax in the back of a heavy you might as well be in a FedEx box-
it is not the same as piloting an airplane, just like playing on your
computer is similar to piloting a real plane, like a Baron. If you claim
your experience as a passenger is the same as piloting, you truly are
delusional.

You have also stated in this NG that you are afraid of stalls and other
maneuvers including acro, yet these are all part of flying (steep turns and
stalls).

Playing a computer game will never be the same as actually flying,
particularly one as limited as MSFS. As has been written many times here, go
get a lesson or even a few hours of flying time in a trainer, and then come
back and share the experience.

Otherwise, you will never have any credibility and will remain a whining
wannabe.

As intelligent as he thinks he is, he'll never figure that one out.

You see, you're exaggerating again. I'm not a liar, so calling me one is
quite an exaggeration. And I've never had a blog.

Steep turns and stalls are not aerobatics, and I'm not afraid of them per se.
I just don't like extreme maneuvers; they increase risk.
