"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.

Well, besides idling which you mentioned, what other ways were you speaking
of?

Of course it is, but how does this have a negative affect on the simulation
of an engine out?

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?

I don't know. However, I don't exclude possibilities just because I'm not
aware of them.

It's unrealistic.

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?

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.

I think this demotivator says it best about how this happens:

But then there are all these, relevant in some way (I think) to Usenet:

http://despair.com/idiocy.html
http://despair.com/cluelessness.html
