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.

No, they don't

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.

So you sit there in front of the PC the whole time and don't wander off to
other things during the boring bits?

Sh#t you're keen....

He was referring to flying the GPS Rwy 30 approach, not a Garmin GPS
model number...

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.

Well, I guess everyone needs a hobby. Yours appears to be obsessing
over a Usenet poster names Mxmanic. It doesn't seem healthy or
productive, but then, neither is golf...

Ugh! I hope not.

I've never landed an RC plane in a "fully successful" manner. My record
with real aircraft is significantly better laugh.

I suspect it has to do with my inability adopt the perspective of the RC
airplane. That is, I can see the runway environment from a real plane; I
have to imagine it for an RC plane, and I'm apparently not capable of
doing so well enough.

On the other hand, I've many hundreds of real landings, and a far smaller
number of RC "landings". So it may merely be a matter of experience.

with RC aircraft, just to keep them on their toes laugh.]

It's just practice.

Yep.

I've found it helps. I've taught a few guys who flew RC first to fly and
they took to it fairly quickly. I've only had one major problem with
them and that was with a guy who was an RC aerobatic champ. He did
everything right first time every time up until I taught him spins. His
recovery was to go to the vertical line when rotation stopped!
OTOH, I've had a few students who had "leaned" in sims. It took twice as
long as it would teaching from scratch to undo all the damage that had
been done.

Hmmmm. Is the fool more foolish than the guy who becomes obsessed
with him?

I'd call it a toss-up.
