"or something"? I presume there are multiple ways to simulate engine failure, depending on how much realism one is prepared to sacrifice. How is it different? The engine hasn't actually failed, and in particular an idling engine is very different from a stopped engine. Why does this require a full-motion sim? It doesn't, but many people here believe that anything that isn't moving isn't realistic. |

I presume there are multiple ways to simulate engine failure, depending on how much realism one is prepared to sacrifice. Well, besides idling which you mentioned, what other ways were you speaking of? The engine hasn't actually failed, and in particular an idling engine is very different from a stopped engine. Of course it is, but how does this have a negative affect on the simulation of an engine out? Why does this require a full-motion sim? It doesn't, but many people here believe that anything that isn't moving isn't realistic. OK, so does that mean you still consider a sim to be ideal for practicing engine outs regardless of whether it is full motion or not? BDS |

There's an ideal sim for any purpose, but no sim is ideal for every purpose. |

So, in other words, when you make such wide and sweeping pronouncements like you so often do and did again in this case, you really don't know what you're talking about, eh? BDS |

We have learned, with respect to Mx, that some dogs like to be kicked.

Interesting also to me as a VERY amateur Psychologist (Flight Instructor you know :-) is the fact that even though a forum like this one can be totally aware that it's being "had", the threads involving this person and those like him are some of the longest if not THE longest threads to be found on said forums. I find this truly a fascinating aspect of Usenet. -- Dudley Henriques |

I find this truly a fascinating aspect of Usenet. I think this demotivator says it best about how this happens: http://despair.com/ir.html But then there are all these, relevant in some way (I think) to Usenet: http://despair.com/dysfunction.html http://despair.com/noname13.html http://despair.com/idiocy.html http://despair.com/cluelessness.html http://despair.com/compromise.html http://despair.com/connot.html http://despair.com/humiliation.html http://despair.com/potential.html http://despair.com/stup24x30pri.html |
