Yes the problem is that unless you know that all the authority he
espouses has to do with what he observes in MSFS. He talks about
what you can do in a Baron without mentioning that he's talking
about the rather poor simulation of a Baron. Fortunately, he's
not too dangerous because people jump all over him.

The major problem I have is not so much that he's flying a simulator
but that he refuses to do anything remotely reasonable to LEARN to
do things properly. I've suggested a couple of books to him.
Kerschner's Student Pilot Manual would be perfect as he dabbles
more into the physics and stuff and isn't quite as dry as most
of the "geared for groundschool for the written test" type stuff.
