Give it up, Jim.
He's retarded.

Last Fall, I went to a Corporate Anniversary party at the Bradley Air
Museum. One guy brought his 12 yo son, who was just starting flying
lessons and had logged 5 hours of instruction. When he heard I was a
pilot, he followed my wife and I around the museum for an hour talking
about flying. The kid was very knowledgable about aviation. Way beyond
MX. He'd played with MSFS for many years before taking his first
lesson, so I asked him if he thought it helped.
To summarize his 10 minute answer:
"I knew how the instruments and radio worked.
A real C150 is tricky to start.
They bounce around a lot.
The rudder pedals felt weird and worked very different.
My instructor kept telling me to look out the window (surprise!)
Landing is hard. Crosswinds are even harder.
(and most important)
Now that I'm getting the FEEL of the plane, I'm doing much better."

Bottom line
A 12 yo with 5 hours gets it.

A fat, numb ass, delusional, antisocial, retarded, middle aged loser,
who never leaves his room, will never get it.

I guess "Bertie" has the right idea.
Just tell him he's an idiot and be done with it.

He won't believe the correct answer.........
He won't believe he's an idiot.

Saves a lot of typing.
Same result.
