And so by your definition that's real life. No, by my definition, it's a good simulation. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I recall MANY years ago talking with a programmer from NASA, who had worked on the original moon landing simulations. All this ran in real-time, i.e. a two week launch to landing really took two weeks. He said after a while it would get to seem so real, that when the lunar lander finally touched down (all simulated, of course) everyone in the control room would break into wild cheers and start looking for the champagne bottles.

G Hopefully, simulation should be accepted and cheaper than real flying hours. At the moment, it may be more expensive to do simulation than flying for real. If they can reduce the cost of getting PPL license to less than 10%, it will just cost more than 3 times getting a car license. It will truly make the flying car a reality. Malaysia already promote one house one plane. I surely love to see that day. Actually hardware cost-wise, it is already affordable. Only certifications and trainings that are unclear and expensive. ----------------------------------------------- James M.
