OK, let's assume you have screwed up the GPS signal. Use any way you
want of doing that. The airplanes start drifting off course. You think
ATC is just going to sit there and go "Huh, that's odd."

No, but ATC can't vector them all at once.

And you would know to make a judgement like that how?

Yes. It's a classic issue in the design and use of complex systems.

No, you didn't.

You weren't there.

As long as you stay above the max obstacle height on your sectional, you
shouldn't have to worry about terrain avoidance.

You have to know where you are in order to do that, or you have to
stay above Mount Everest.

Using a chart and VORs made you nervous in your sim? You really need to see
if the Doctor will up your meds.

Sims can leave experienced fighter pilots soaked with sweat. Do you
suggest that they visit a doctor as well?

Yes, if they get that way playing on MSFS.

Every simulator has its share of realism, and creates a mood to match.

Mxsmanic,

No need. YOU do NOT fly.

I flew last night for several hours. Unfortunately, I had an accident
when someone who hadn't bothered to contact the tower decided to take
off on the same runway in the opposite direction. He flew right over
me, I hit the runway, and skidded across the taxiway onto the apron of
Terminal 3. The aircraft was a write-off but my pax and I got out
safely. One of the risks of online simulation is that ill-behaved
pilots will pop into existence on a runway and take-off without ever
even noticing you on short final. Oh well. Thank goodness I had a
spare Baron waiting as back-up.

I'm glad you weren't hurt.

Please let us know what the FAA does to the other pilot.

I still don't see the prelim NTSB report. Where did this occur?

I'm not sure that he was licensed. He certainly wasn't following the
rules. I was unable to identify him so he'll probably escape any
punishment.

Last night. The NTSB doesn't bother with simulated accidents, so no
report will be forthcoming.
