The no visual reverence problem was solved by Sperry eighty years ago.

Then why do pilots still crash regularly after entering IMC?

They don't, dumb ass, that's a rare occurrence.

The topic was truth in advertising and calling a flying game a flight

Since flight, and only flight, simulators have a legal definition,
calling
something a flight simulator that is not is false advertising.

That's not the way the law works.

Claiming that a flight simulator can be used to log hours or for training
recognized by the FAA when the simulator has not been certified by the FAA
for
these purposes is indeed fraud, but simply calling it a flight simulator
is
entirely legal and is not at all false advertising.

All the flight simulator game sellers are quite explicit in saying what
they are selling is a game.

No, they are not. Visit the Web site for X-Plane, which tries hard to
give
the impression that their simulator is certified by the FAA. (In fact,
X-Plane can be _part of_ a certified simulator, but you cannot just
download
it and log the hours.)

Microsoft calls it a game so that they won't be sued. X-Plane comes from
a
small company (mostly from one person, in fact), and is a lot more
"flexible"
in its description.

No they don't, dumb ass. It's because unlike you, Microsoft realizes it only
a game. Unlike you, they deal with reality.

Flight simulators have a legal definition under 14CFR.

That legal definition doesn't apply to anyone except the FAA, and affects
only
simulators that claim to be approved by the FAA for logging hours.

Sorry you can't deal with reality, but defining what constitutes a flight
simulator is the FAA's job, not yours wanna be.

I have an average recall.

Oh by the way - why did you dutifully reproduce the preceding text, but
wipe
out the part about schizophrenia? Mental illness is not a subject you
like to
talk about, is it?

Mental illness has no relevance to this discussion.

Sure it is, mental illness is relevant to any discussion with you. You have
no grasp on reality.

No, and yet the same players keep at it. Makes me wonder more about them
than MX actually.

Has there been instances where arguments of MX v anyone have been
resolved, except in the mind of the person typing the last message?

Do as Obama did during the primaries -- look down on the combantants
and watch the others chase their tails.

Would you characterize Sec of State Clinton that way? Or McCain?

I don't know enough about either of them to speculate.

Then for the same reason you should not speculate about aviation.

Wrong, X-Plane is not part of any flight simulator certified by the FAA.

It is part of a Personal Computer-based Aviation Training Device, which
is something else entirely.

What they actually claim it is is "an engineering tool that can be used
to predict the flying qualities of fixed and rotary wing aircraft".

Wrong again as apparently you don't know what the term "flight simulator"
means.

Simmer? "Bubbling gently, or to be in a state of suppressed anger or
excitement." Not quite up to a full boil. Perfect!
