Yes, I'm using those now. I find it amusing that it parallels similar
procedures in real life. Only it's much less expensive, of course. I
just replaced a KFC225 with a S-TEC 55X. I'm not sure which one I
like better, but at least the latter is an accurate simulation,
whereas the former does involve a few compromises.

Good grief.

Wouldn't it be funny if MX is in reality a high time well qualified
ATP and he's just playing around and seeing who really knows what in
here?

Hey William, why the sudden cross post to include the whole world?

Hmm, possible, but unlikely. He'd have been spotted, I think .

Good idea, though!

Folks, is there an emoticon depicting a shaking head?

You might wish to review the state of simulation before shaking your head.
For some of the instruments I'm using, the accuracy is such that there is
no
documentation from the developer of the simulation, because you can just
download the real documentation for the instrument and consult that.

This is very useful to people who need to train themselves in the use of a
specific flight instrument before actually buying and installing it.

If you recall, the subject in INSTALLING instruments, not USING them.
Do they properly simulate improper antenna placement?
How do you map the skin of the aircraft for a Strikefinder Install. I've
seen mechanics use an old am radio. Does someone make an old am radio add-on
for your simulator?

But he doesn;t know how to use them , either!

If he ever really did have a snowball's chance of getting an airline job, he would have
applied to become a mechanic, not a pilot.

Oh yeah. I can se him elbow to elbow with our mechanics. They'd eat him for
lunch.

He's anxiously waiting for Microsoft to come out with Airline Mechanic Simulator. It
would be on the Wii so you could physically emulate the wrench turning.

But who would buy it for him?
