Well that's a pathetic attitude.


No it's not.

What is pathetic is to not make the effort to get out an atlas, plot
out a route and fly it. This is not only fun but also educational.

I flew the FS95(?) Learjet around the world using a 'Compact World
Atlas', a circular protractor and a lot of trial and error. On the way
I learnt about navigating using VORs and NDBs and how to fly an ILS
approach. It was fun because I was doing it myself, learning as I went
and the sense of achievement at the end was remarkable. I commend it
to others.

We are not all as gifted as you are.


It's not a question of being gifted or not. It's a question of common
sense and application.
