VFR position reporting

In AI simulation, the level of traffic is configurable. At high
levels, and in high-traffic areas, the frequencies are continuously
busy.

I provide signal, not noise. I have no control over what others
provide.


Only your original questions could be considered signal. Your uninformed
responses to answers are 100% noise.

So, if such situations were "highly unlikely" as you stated, there
wouldn't be much point in providing such a simulation, would there?

The NTSB report states that JFK jr. had no contact with ATC
or radio after departing the local control.

He did not avail the services which were available. That
did not cause the accident, but it does indicate that the
CFIs he used did not teach the use of the Long Island Sound
reporting service.

It indicates that he didn't use it not that the CFIs didn't teach it. From
the outcome of the flight I'd say there were probably several things the
CFIs taught him that he either forgot or ignored.

I hope some of the pilots around here give your comments some serious
thought.

How does one locate a local FSS? I'd like to visit one.

I HOPE NOT.

Y'all need to not only read the questions this guy is raising, but the
way he is responding to REAL LIFE answers to his questions and making it
like sim flight is the same. It's not in any manner shape or form. This
is what is raising my dander and other pilots as well.

I mean get real, VFR position reporting in a game of MSFS? Read his
responses and the way they are written, you would think he was near check
ride time. Not only that, he is questioning things he has never
experienced. It's one thing to question something with a question but
this guy is challenging pilots responses based on MSFS experiences. The
two just ain't the same, no manner, shape or form.

I don't think there is a fellow pilot out here who would not go out of
their way to help a fellow student pilot or another pilot (myself
included).

There is nothing wrong with armchair flying, nothing wrong with non
pilots posting questions, but to act like spatial disorientation is a
life or death situation in a MSFS world is wrong (another thread this
goofball posted in).

To make his responses seem like he is just about to take a check ride in
a real plane is wrong when in reality he is playing a game.

Again, don't hesitate to post questions even if you never touched a GA
plane, just don't act like playing MSFS is like a real plane or real
world flying.

It's not and will never be.

Hi Andreas!
I think a lot of the agro towards Mxsmanic is due to the fact that he
doesn't even try to research the answers himself. he just expects others to
spoon feed him the answers. (forgetting for a moment that he likes to argue
points with those who do take the time to help him!) If he came with a
question that suggested that he had actually attempted to find his own
answer to, but he just wanted clarification on, he would have less people
ignoring him.
