You do yourself a disservice by underestimating "games" like MSFS. It's a
bad
attitude for a pilot to have--one of the danger signs.


How would you know dip****, you're not even a pilot. Actually a simmer with
your underestimations of actually flight is a 100 times more dangerous.

Mxsmanic,

It's a bad
attitude for a pilot to have--one of the danger signs.


You know, you should really worry about your attitudes first.

Interesting. I'm a dangerous pilot because I don't think Microsoft
Flight Simulator has much value in real world pilot training. By that
logic, I should be able to race a Formula One race car because I've
played Grand Turismo... Or maybe I can be an astronaut because I used
to be really good at Lunar Lander. They're both based on real physics
and real vehicle performance just like MSFS, so they must be good
training devices...

That fact is that your insistence that MSFS is a more valuable training
aid than it really is makes me glad that you aren't flying a real plane.

(Dammit, I'm feeding the trolls again. Somebody smack me.)

Because I recognize the attitude.

Actually a simmer with your underestimations of actually flight
is a 100 times more dangerous.


I have a good attitude, and I'm cautious. I'd be quite a safe pilot in a real
aircraft, perhaps so safe that I'd irritate instructors.

No, you show some danger signs because you are quick to vigorously dismiss
what you don't understand or don't like.

By that logic, I should be able to race a Formula One race car because I've
played Grand Turismo...


Have you tried it?

They're both based on real physics
and real vehicle performance just like MSFS, so they must be good
training devices...


They are far better than many early simulators costing much more, with much
less criticism directed at them.

That fact is that your insistence that MSFS is a more valuable training
aid than it really is makes me glad that you aren't flying a real plane.


As pathologically cautious as I sometimes tend to be, I don't think I'd be any
danger to anyone flying a real plane. The only risk would be that I might
incur the wrath of all the macho men flying around me, although encounters
with terrain and each other might eventually filter them out.

No you don't, you are so ignorant you can even see your own attitude
problem. And you would never be able to keep an instructor with all you WAG
assumptions.

Now, grasshoppah, you learn value of "K" key. Press when topic go off
deep end, and all problems solved. Thunderbird good for that.
