Yes. Good!

Were they to acknowledge that they'd never actually -had- sex,
though... let's just say you don't get dates by saying you've only
had sex with your computer and that for some people it's superior to
the real thing.


If someone is happy with Internet porn, why would he look for real
dates?



And there you have it.
In your own hand, you are an aviation jerkoff.

I don't see why that would make him more likely to look for dates.


Finally, you understood someone else's post.


Just as a random guess you understand.....


Yes, that's what I understood. I'm not sure how it contributes to the
discussion.


Yes, I'm sure you don;t

Microsoft Flight Simulator will never replace actual flight
instruction and produce a safe pilot.


That doesn't matter, if the objective is not to become a pilot. And
MSFS remains useful as one tool among many for those who wish to
become pilots, or who already are.



It isn't, fjukkwit.

That's actually pretty good Bertie..."In your own hand" and "jerkoff" in
the same sentence. I think I'll steal this one :-))

Pilots certainly do have a unique validity in their opinion about real

They are not talking about real flight, they are talking about simulation.

Simulation isn't flight at all.

There's your problem Ant. The name of this group is
rec.aviation.piloting. And everything we talk about even when it is way
off topic is from the point of view of those who pilot actual aircraft
and is aimed towards those that pilot actual aircraft.

Well, that's how it should be. One of the most frequent posters (I
will not say contributers) to the forum is not a pilot. His mission
here is to support his ego -- we know who he is, and what he is: deep
down a poor guy who wants his opinions accepted by people he'd like to
consider his peers.

My basis for a judgement is just as valid as anyone else's.

Opinions are opinions, not established facts. That's something that everyone


The point is that you need to have flown both sims and airplanes to be
able to properly opine on the difference between the two. No doubt
sims are useful in many aspects of flying as almost every pilot would
agree but they do not equate to real airplanes. And honestly, even
though sims are fun the first few times, let's face it, the scenery
comes nowhere near what it actually looks like in real life. I have
tried the scenery addons but they are frankly, quite unimpressive
especially as you get closer to the ground when it just becomes
extremely blurry.
