Translation YOU DON"T FLY IN THE REAL WORLD. Try flying at KMBO with
4 school planes in the pattern as well as NORDO CAF planes working the
pattern.

And I fly a lot IFR, in
which case I can't see traffic, anyway.


You DON"T FLY IFR. YOU SIMULATE FLYING IFR in MSFS.

Do the best you can. *Look for other traffic, and listen to the radio.


What part do you not understand. YOU DON"T HEAR NORDO traffic. Again
I ask, please answer the question I ASKED ON MY FIRST RESPONSE TO YOU.

In the split second you turn your head to look out the the side window
to look at the airport environment (I.E wind sock), some NORDO plane
COULD fill up your windscreen.


Pray tell, how do you prevent a mid air in that situation?


ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOVE. HOW DO YOU PREVENT A MID AIR in that
situation. YOUR RADIO IS USELESS. and YOU CAN"T be situationally
aware on something you didn't see or hear!!!
