Question to Mxmanic
Snowbird writes:
Well, in real aviation the most valuable use of simulators is for practising upsets and other abnormal situations that are not safe or feasible to do in the real aircraft. Not everyone uses simulation as practice for real aviation. There are many possible purposes to which simulation can be put, and just as many different types of simulators. No simulator simulates every aspect of reality accurately, but nobody requires a duplicate of reality, only a reproduction of those aspects of reality that are of interest. So it would be an extremely useful feature to have in MSFS. I don't know that it would be "extremely" useful, but it would certainly be a plus. Then again, if real pilots don't use MSFS for training, would it really be that important? Besides, the idea is to avoid wake turbulence, not to fly through it, so the only real training required is procedural. In addition, if the feature were in MSFS, it would aid realism to basic flight training as well i.e. flying a correct 360-degree turn. Are 360-degree turns common? Why would they encounter wake turbulence? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

In the sim it makes no sense to avoid wake turbulence because you will never know if you succeeded, its an exercise in futility. Real life is like that, too. You only know when you fail to avoid wake turbulence, not when you succeed. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

You only know when you fail to avoid wake turbulence, not when you succeed. Couldn't be more wrong. In real life, you most certainly know when you succeed in avoiding wake turbulence. |

You don't know if you avoided it, or if it simply wasn't there to begin with. In any case, avoidance is the only safe procedure. Trying to fly in wake turbulence isn't a good idea. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Incorrect statement. I'm always surprised by posts that simply say "wrong," but don't explain why. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
