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. On May 19, 10:23 pm, Mxsmanic wrote: "Capt.

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. |

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

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'm only interested in flying. The sim has the advantage in this respect. |

You should talk to a physician about this and he'll refer you to the right people. Cheers |

: Tina writes: You might have noticed it takes a LONG time in a sim to arrive at a real destination. It takes the same amount of time in the sim that it takes in real life. 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. 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. IMC that does not include impaired visibility is a legal construct and not relevant to this discussion. 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. |
