How would that happen, given you are (see OP) 75 or 100 pound overweight
- COG is not mentioned, so assume we're inside the envelope (fwd/aft
envelope).

Not enough lift.

So it crashes on your simulator. That doesn't prove it sorry. Do you
have any other evidence?


The military routinely operate 'overweight' - they can not achieve the
climb-out angle required by civilian flight.

The military takes risks that are not acceptable for civilian aircraft.

They take a higher risk - the way you word is is just plain wrong.

Back to topic please, why can the military put more weight on planes and
still fly, yet you claim that civilian planes can not - and that they
will crash. You're contradicting yourself. Your logic is flawed and
wrong.

OT question; why do you post here? Why don't you keep your posts to the
sim NG? What benefit do you get, or expect to get, posting here? You've
claimed sim flying is just like the real thing, why do you post in an NG
with real pilots in it when (so you claim) you can get everything you
need from the sim?

Nobody said anything about a simulator.

I don't need evidence to prevent me from doing unsafe things.

Yes, they take risks that are unacceptable for civilian aircraft.

I didn't say they would crash. I merely assert that it is unsafe--and
stupid--to exceed aircraft weight limitations. It really amazes me that
anyone would defend this kind of stupidity. I guess that disagreeing with me
is more important than staying alive.

OT question; why do you post here?

I'm interested in aviation.

What benefit do you get, or expect to get, posting here?

Occasionally there is an interesting conversation, or I get a useful answer to
a question (or I provide one).

You've claimed sim flying is just like the real thing ...

No, I haven't.

Not really. All you have to do is press the ALT key--that pauses
everything--open up the map, type in your new altitude and there you are.

Or, if the **** hits the fan, press "ctrl-;" and reset the flight on the
runway or your mid-air save point. JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE.
