Mxsmanic , IFR sensations, and some other stuff

You might have noticed it takes a LONG time in a sim to arrive at a
real destination. It's not often we climb aboard our airplane without
wanting to actually, after a flight, be in a different place.

There are a few real life issues your simming may not correctly
represent. For example, one can fly in IMC and have excellent
visibility and outside reference. IMC does NOT mean being in the
clouds.

Also, IFR flight in marginal IMC or in VMC requires that we be fully
alert to outside cues and traffic-- ATC has the job of keeping IFR
airplanes apart, and they try -- but cannot always -- keep separation
from VFR traffic. That is our job, and even if it was not our job we'd
be on the lookout for such airplanes, since the price of an encounter
with one is very high.

Yes, but I had none to depend on, either.

You had no physical sensations that would have caused vertigo. You had no sensations
that would result in motion sickness. You have no idea how difficult it
really is with those sensations present. Most of the rest of us here do.

Most, perhaps, but not all.

I would _hope_ that you made it to your "destination" fer crying out loud -
flying in IMC while sitting in a lazyboy is stupid easy compared to real
life.

It has the advantage of being much safer and more comfortable.

It takes the same amount of time in the sim that it takes in real life.

Do you fly for travel, or do you fly for the sake of flying?

IMC that does not include impaired visibility is a legal construct and not
relevant to this discussion.

WRONG.

WRONG.



Just remeber that when it comes to Anthony, IMC = "Ignoramus Mxsmanic
Claims".

We take pleasure in flying, as we do in driving, but we use both
airplane and car to get to other places.

IMC is a defined condition -- that specific sequence of words has in
the context of flight in the US means something to pilots. That you
choose to ignore its meaning demonstrates something unpleasant about
you.

As for a sim flight taking as long to get somewhere as one in a real
airplane? What an odd mind you have. When we arrive somewhere we are
actually there. We can meet with friends who live there, dine with
them, play golf, whatever.

I simulate for the sake of flying. I'm not interested in meeting friends,
dining, or playing golf. I'm only interested in flying. The sim has the
advantage in this respect.

That's not healthy. You should talk to a physician about this and
he'll refer you to the right people.

You should try it sometime.

BULL ****. You don't get anyware in real time in a sim. Only an infantile
moron would think that a sim goes anywhere.

It's not often we climb aboard our airplane without
wanting to actually, after a flight, be in a different place.

Do you fly for travel, or do you fly for the sake of flying?

Many of us fly for both reasons. We enjoy flying AND we want to go
somewhere. If we didn't, we'd just play with a sim. But we want to go
somewhere. Only a moron like you confuses simming with real flying.

In this case, IMC means "Ignoramus Mxsmanic Claims".

You really don't know **** from shinola. You lack the real world
experience to differentiate **** from shinola. All you do is regurgite
whatever character string you find that you half-wittedly think matches
what's being discussed.

Ben dover the technical precision of your comment is encouraging.
