As much as I agree that flight sim problems are rarely solved with real
world flying solutions, and that he may be asking some of the questions
in the wrong group, I have to say that I am also a flight simmer! And
yes, I am learning to fly. I only have 1 hour so far, so have just begun
my journey, but just because I am not a real pilot yet, doesn't mean that
some of my curious questions that arise from the simming world might not
be worth listening to from a real world pilot point of view.
You need to remember that just because a thread has been posted, it
doesn't mean you have to read it.

(I'll vouch for "Crash" ... he's good people (in a usenet kinda
way...gdr))

The difference here CL, is that Mx:

1) Has preconcieved notions
2) Is unwilling to accept the answers he's given
3) Insists the answers he's given are wrong and already knows exactly why
(adjunct to point #1)

No one here will hesitate to inform, enlighten and help educate new pilots
if the impression is given (and it can be real or imagined...) that the
person posing the questions can actually read the info, digest it and be
grateful for the help. Hell, no one would even care if you wanted to
debate an issue provided you do so with logic and facts based on real
world experiences or observations.

Just don't come in here telling hundreds of pilots with experience levels
ranging from newbie to multi-thousands of hours that you know better than
they do because your computer sim doesn't work that way.

Best of luck with your training. Post early and often as you go...

Judging from the long threads with little new posting from responders, I
think this particular gentleman may have already run his race on the pilot
forums :-))
So far, he has me definitely needing more dual so that I come to better
understand the basics of giving flight instruction , Pete Duniho needing
more instrument time so that he understands what flying IFR is actually all
about, and at last peek...(I'm just lurking here mind you...can't wait to
see what happens next... ) whether Todd Pattist needs some help with his
aerodynamics :-))
My personal opinion is that I hope this guy never leaves. Watching this is
more fun than a human being should be allowed to have in one lifetime
:-))))))))))))))))))

well, i guess i just don't understand or maybe i'm not a real enough
pilot or something. are you saying that if i respond to this guy (or
whatever) you'll "kill file" me??? i have no idea what being kill-filed
is like. does it hurt??

A kill-file simply puts you on a list where my computer will no longer shouw
your posts.

When I killfile someone, I don't see his/her posts. When you reply to
his/her posts and include his/her entire post in your response, now it shows
up on my computer. If you continue re-posting his/her posts, my only
recourse is to killfile you.


Why not just kill the thread?

YES! :^)

I've been *Plonked* three times in eight years

...that I know of.

Now why would anyone plonk you? You seem pretty reasonable to me.

Well, it's not by accident that the person using the killfile is
the "plonker".

I guess the option of you, Terry, not reading the thread or the post
you object to is out of the question. Instead of kill filing it or
simply ignoring it or not reading it, you instead have the temerity to
ask everyone else to ignore his posts. It's sort of like the young
woman who wakes up every Saturday morning in a different guy's bed
complaining about the quality of men she dates. I know, I know, his
posts are just sooo awful you can't bear not to read them......

To all the "real" pilots reading this newsgroup.......

It's very obvious that Mxsmanic is not serious about learning to fly
real airplanes.
The questions asked by him are very basic questions that could be
found by
reading and educating himself in the "right way". Instead it appears
he is lazy and
wants to take the easy way out. He prefers to use us in this newsgroup
give him the answers to his mostly stupid questions.


It's even worse than that. He asks an innocent sounding question, and twists
the replies into an argument.

As a troll, he's almost as talented as Skylune.

I'm done playing with him.


He's better than skylune! I find myself saying "I'm not going to say a
word", but ... I still find my fingers on the keyboard. Damned, he's
good, he should learn to fly! The sad thing is I think he's really
interested in learning, he just can't figure out that A. sims are NOT
real airplanes. B. Real airplanes aren't that dangerous and won't fall
out of the sky if you run the engine at less than optimal settings.

....I suppose my first question to such an arrogant posting
would be what do you consider a "real" pilot and what if
another pilot doesn't agree with your definition?

I respect alot of you as fellow pilots in this newsgroup
and value your viewpoint
even tho I have over 2,000 hours and built my 1st
airplane 20 years ago. It's aways
interesting to hear others opinions and I will be the
first to admit there is always
something to learn. I enjoy helping others that might have
questions about flying
or a particular airplane if I can. It's very clear that
Mxsmanic has not tried in anyway
to educate himself in anyway other than to ask in this
newsgroup.
So here's the delimma, a lot of you knowledgeable people
are feeding the troll!
I know without a doubt, there is a sincere desire to be
helpful but all that is
happening is for every stupid question answered, two more
are in the newgroup
the next day.... it's never ending. I don't want to "kill
file" anybody but Mxsmanic.
I do want to read the rest of your postings and I enjoy
them and learn from them.

Final comment, please stop responding the Mxsmanic
postings, comments about
him, Flight Sim's etc. Just let him fade away and get
this newsgroup back to
questions about flying REAL airplanes, REAL questions,
from REAL people.

Thank You from 63 year old fellow pilot...

Fair enough. Haven't been here long enough to see all that side of it.

Sim player who has never piloted an actual aircraft is NOT a "real" pilot.
