as a training tool, MS Flt Sim is a farce!!!
The following was the original comment in this thread:
"See Wired magazine: http://www.wired.com/news/technology...w=wn_tophead_6 People have criticized me in the past for suggesting that someone could learn much of the skills of piloting with FS, but it seems that I'm in good company." ============== If the poster is suggesting a wanna-be pilot could gain some insight into ATC, he would be right. And ditto for a little background on using VOR navigation, and with fs2004, the Garmin GPS. I would agree. It is also helpful for a wanna-be pilot to experience how fast things happen when you fly, how mentally quick one must be in order to safely fly a plane. Here I agree again, but as one who has flown real planes, I cound not disagree more if the poster is suggesting Microsoft simulator planes fly like the REAL THING. Microsof FS is an eye candy entertainment GAME. Got that word the:: G A M E!!!!!!!! That's all it is, an eye candy game, to entertain people, to keep their minds off the sewer society we are (and have) slid off into, to keep people preoccupied with utter nonsense so they won't have time to write or call their congressmen about what a mess the world is becoming, so they won't have time to organize war demonstrations, etc. That is the only purpose of this product. MS airplaines do NOT even remotely fly like the real thing, and all one need do to prove it for themselves is go fly a real plane and you'll see for yourself. Then if you still believe MS simulator planes fly like the real thing, then you are probably a devoute religious person that belives all those wierd stories about God destroying His own creations, causing fire n brimstone, hell, devils, etc. And just think, there are a couple billion people who believe all this crap, so it does not surprise me that millions of Flt Sim fans believe Microsoft's simulator planes fly like the real thing. BETWEEN EVERY MAN AND REALITY LIE HIS MOST CHERISHED ILLUSIONS. M.P. Hall Hope this helps Mike |
