Typical power settings during cruise and other phases of flight

Huck,

As others have pointed out, our little inquisitive friend is not
referring to real flight.

He's dealing with MSFS issues under the guise of being a pilot.

Don't waste the 1s and 0s ...

Why are you being such a snob? The question he posed is legitimate
whether it is for a simulator or a real airplane. And many simmers
eventually go on to become pilots so it is in our best interest to be
receptive.

Check out some of the other threads started by Mxsmanic and you'll spot
a pattern. He asks what, at face value, appears to be a legitimate
question in the pursuit of knowledge. His questions are answered in a
helpful way. He then proceeds to pontificate, based on his hours
playing a video game, why they are all wrong and their ignorance will
eventually get them killed. He quotes out of context, completely missing
the point. His "discussion" style appears willful because nobody could
possibly be that dense.

It's futile and it does nothing but lower the signal to noise ratio in
the newsgroup. He's not here to learn. He's here to pretend that
playing MSFS is not only equivalent, but superior to flying a real plane.
Many of us have done both so we understand the strengths and weaknesses
of each. Mxsmanic hasn't and doesn't.

All true but you have to understand that the reason he's a "superior pilot" is
that he flies the big iron that few of us have ever even sat in the cockpit
of... like the B-737. The fact that the C-172 I flew Thursday was real can't
possibly compare against his many hours managing the mighty Boeing with just a
keyboard.

You know, I fly MSFS too. But when I do it, I fly the same aircraft that I fly
in real life. I just use it to keep my instrument scan active because I don't
fly instruments enough any more to feel comfortable without some help from the
sim.

He flies the airliners so he can lord it over you. What he doesn't realize is
that flying the crappiest piece of **** on the field is still better than the
"flight experience" you get with a computer sim.

He's playing all of you guys like fish on a hook. Wise up.

I tried to tell folks last week and some people came to his defense. I suspect
now they wish they'd just followed my suggestion: Ignore the troll.

I don't think it's censorship to point out he's pretty much taken over two
newsgroups with his crossposted questions. Not that it matters that the
questions get answered. When they disagree with his preconceived ideas he just
ignores them. We should return the favor.

He's just a ****in' troll... Somewhat of a subtle troll, at least
iniitially, but a troll none the less...

To make it worse, he's a French troll... One could argue that this is what
makes him think he is so superior to the rest of us while in fact being
inferior to the lowest time Cessna 150/152 student... Killfile the idiot and
be done with it...

Grumman-581,

To make it worse, he's a French troll...


Actually, he is an American living in Paris, from what someone posted.
And what's worse about it? At least it's a country that's got its
war-going priorities right.

If you mean letting others fight its wars, then I agree.

Andrew,

Read a few early threads started by the guy. He is first class troll,
not the least bit interested in learning. In fact, there's another
active thread where he is lecturing on instrument flight. Every reason
to be snobbish.

i have a thought or two about people who come here with questions after
playing with computer flying toys:

welcome!!

even if they pretend they're flying real planes i don't care. should we
really think the future of g.a. is riding his bicycle up to the fence
at the airfield whispering "golly" and "gee whiz" to skippy the frog in
his pocket????

also, when one of these guys asks a really dumb question some of us are
waiting for the answer with him 'cause we didn't want to look stupid
asking the same thing.

I agree. There was a long time between my sailplane and the airplane I have
now. The only way I could scratch my itch was with MSFS.

I used MSFS to plan and pre-fly my check ride (as much as I could). I have
used it to pre-fly flights to unfamiliar airports, setting the time, season
and various weather scenarios. I find it an excellent tool for a pilot, and
I could see where it would be a satisfactory hobby unto itself. When my son
starts college, the fate of the airplane is unclear. I might find myself
spending all my flight time with the downloaded model of my Sundowner.

I think MSFS is much harder to fly than the real thing. I also find myself
doing the same wrong things on MSFS that I do in real flight.

The only seat I'll ever occupy in a 7x7 has a number and letter, but that
hasn't stopped me from flying them on MSFS. I track the tips here on flying
the big iron nonetheless.
