There could be ice, thunderstorms, and volcanic ash from the surface to
the
flight levels, but it doesn't matter, since your flights are all
imaginary
and don't mean anything to anyone in the entire world except you and the
people you annoy by wasting bandwith.

The essence of simulation is taken from the real world.

You need to start thinking about being mentally green and stop polluting
this and other NG's.

My question was legitimate for any pilot. Only the replies have wasted
bandwidth. I have yet to see a single useful reply.

Then why are you still here, dumb ass?

I'm sorry, but that is just **too** funny!!! *Why are you interested
in TFRs?

I check them before flights, but in this case I wanted to see if there was a
TFR for that volcano in Alaska (and there is).

I guess I just don't understand simulation (I have a hard time just
finding time to mow my lawn, much less play on the computer). However,
wouldn't the benefit of playing on the flight simulator be that you
could ignore real TFRs and fly right over the White House (land on the
grass, etc)? I guess I don't understand how a TFR would benefit a
simulator. In anycase, I've never heard of the website you mention, I
use tfr.faa.gov to check TFRs online.

Only if you're a gamer. Normally the enjoyment of simulation requires that
many of the same constraints that apply in the real world also be respected in
the simulated world.

Kind of seems like having a hot blow up doll who's realistic enough to
not want to have sex with you. If you're going to be bound by real
life restrictions why simulate?

So you don't let gamers into your simulated treehouse?

Is anyone else getting SSL security errors when trying to access the FAA Web
site's Pilotweb pages? *I tried to look up TFRs today and got an error message
saying the certificate issuer was unknown. *One URL that does this is:

https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/center.html

Now that he's back, can I stop slamming my car door on my fingers
now?
