The same goes for all those people that truly have nothing
better to do with their time that to follow around another usenet
poster, replying to EVERY single post with juvenile insults. Because
the two aren't too far apart in the dumb-ness factor.

Beats being a perambulating navigation hazard

Bertie, you clearly have much to offer here. Obsessive MX-bashing
isn't proving anything except that you have WAY too much time on your
hands..


It's not supposed to prove anything. Don;'t like it? Killfile me.

Can you get an inflatable girl in MSFS?

You mean MX's wife, Sally?

MX says she's got all the same buttons as my wife. But her buttons
aren't nearly as fun as my wife's.



Plus you get to use your fingers on your wife instead of a mouse cursor.

And you still can't fly a plane.

Since I've never tried to fly a real plane, it's impossible to know
whether I could fly one or not.

No it isn't.



I soloed in 10 hours.

That's okay; it's not a race.

You're not even watching the race on TV, fjukkwit.



At the time, the plane and instructor totaled $18/hr.

I wasn't around in World War II.

That would have been in the seventies, not WW2, fjukkwit.

In 1962 the rate per hour solo (NZ pounds) was 3 Pound 10 shillings in
a C150
When I did my PPL (in 1967) the rate was $10(NZ) per hour solo and $12
dual in a C150.



It's still pretty reasonable and do-able in most places. Any
enterprising 15 year old that really wanted to fly could probably manage
to find a way to do two hours a month.

Augh. You're not supposed to fall on your sword so easily...

;-)

I don't killfile anyone. I've learned something from EVERYONE who
posts on this group, even if sometimes it's not precisely what they
thought they were teaching...

Yeah Jay... what's up with that?...
I think you're using fuzz math.

Mx says: 720 hours in 11 months.
720/24 = 30 days... not 4.3 months

So Mx only spends 1/11th of his time on earth Flight Simulating.

Sorry, I was figuring this based on a standard 8-hour work day.
720 hours is 90 work days. Figure working 5 days per week, that's
actually 18 weeks, or 4.3 months.

However you slice it, it's a lot of time spent sitting in front of a
sim.

If you were to factor a little bit for exaggeration, sectors 'simmed' in
autopilot while doing something else, etc it's not too peculiar.

MX likes simming. Some people like doing other things. Such is life...

I'm not falling on anything,. I'm spelling out the facts of life for you.

I don't killfile anyone.

Then don't whine, it won't get you anything.


You could always e-mail me. Be sure to read the addie fist, though.

Or you could whine to my server. they enjoy a good laugh from time to time.

Sorry Jay, you obviously don't use the Garmin sim for approaches. It is
pathetic how bad it is. My FSX with SP1 flying the GPS 30 into IOW (your
airport) does the following.

The GPS 30? I was talking about the GPS units in add-ons to MSFS, which (in
the case of Reality XP instruments) are powered directly by Garmin's own
simulation software. They look and work like the real thing.

Serious simmers do not simply use the base MSFS product. There are many
ultrarealistic add-ons that go far beyond the compromises embodied in the
standard default aircraft.

VATSIM keeps track of the exact number of hours spent simming online. I have
just over 735 hours of that in exactly one year. Hours spent offline are not
counted.
