Actually I'm sitting on the ramp outside Landmark, waiting for my virtual passengers to board. I think we'll be going to LAX shortly. Actually you are sitting in a chair in your hovel in front of a PC playing a game and deluding yourself. That in itself is OK as lots of people play pretend games. What makes you stand out as a babbling, delusional fool is that you have convinced yourself that somehow game playing is the same thing as living a real life and qualifies you to give advice to people in the real world. I'm qualified to give advice independently of my simulation experience in most cases, although the experience is particularly useful when answering questions about simulation. If you limited yourself to giving others the "benefit" of your "experience" to simulation groups you wouldn't find yourself on the receiving end of so much derision. If you had limited yourself to answering the original question with a simple V66 is one way to go instead of pontificating about Victor airways having mystical properties that don't exist, you would have gotten a lot less derision in this thread. I see allegedly real-world pilots here giving advice on things that they manifestly know nothing about, and I know I'm not that clueless. The most vocal pilots here seem to be the ones who are still students or have just barely squeaked past a PPL, and think that a little paper or card from the FAA makes them experts. I see someone who's experience is limited to reading the AIM on line and playing a game on a PC that does not know what the term "flight planner" means nor that the term "flight plan" has two meanings, nor what actually goes into generating a flight plan trying to pretend to be a subject matter expert. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

I dunno ... there was a lot of turbulence coming in over the mountains, and some very light icing at a few points. Fortunately I had left the seat-belt sign on. Delusional. Was your chair shaking? If you had limited yourself to answering the original question with a simple V66 is one way to go instead of pontificating about Victor airways having mystical properties that don't exist, you would have gotten a lot less derision in this thread. Oh, the treehouse club would have still checked in. As I've said before, I could say the sky is blue and some idiot would still argue with it. Some people can't stand for me to be right. Yeah, because you've already established yourself as an arrogant ass. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
