So, while there’s nothing wrong with V66, there is just everything wrong
with MX’s initial response, and his ensuing vituperative argument.

In other words, I was right, but your personal animosity towards me made it
impossible for you to accept that fact.

If you allow yourself to consider the messenger more important than the
message, you make yourself vulnerable to manipulation. Demogogues know all
about this.

No wonder of it - those who do not fly airplanes and whose only references
to aviation are a computer screen and some out of date textbooks will
clearly not develop the reflex and practices of pilots.

What reflexes do you need to develop a flight plan?

Yep, time to sit back in the chair in your room in front of the computer
screen and delude yourself into believing you are flying.

That's what simulation is all about. Try it.

When you watch a movie, you delude yourself into believing that what's
happening on the screen is real ... otherwise it's impossible to enjoy the
movie. So do you refuse to watch movies because they aren't real?

If I were you I'd fly BOTH Citations. It's safer - that way if anything unsafe
happens to one, you can just "be" in the other one!

The simulator doesn't allow that. Besides, flying a Citation X single-pilot is
quite a handful already.

Too bad (for the rest of us) you won't give reality a chance.

Reality in this case is very expensive and inconvenient.

That lowly C152, object of disdain, would put you flat on your pompous ass and
face-to-face with reality in approximately 0min,0sec. But alas even this would
not suffice to inspire humility and slow the affront of words to the wise
(from the foolhardy).

A Cessna 152 is really easy to fly. I don't think it would be a problem for
me. However, it's too slow for my tastes (usually).

Do you often need a "rest" when flying the computer game?

I keep flights short so that I don't need to rest and I don't risk boredom. I
would do the same in real life.

So much work?

Single-pilot IFR? Yup, it can be a lot of work. You have to stay ahead of the
aircraft or bad things happen--both in a simulator and in real life.

Stress? When the autopilot is on, what's left?

Do you fly a lot of single-pilot IFR? Any time in jets?

Maybe his lazy boy has a vibrator to simulate turbulence? I can say
first hand that MSFS fails to simulate turbulence. I never had the
keyboard, mouse or joy stick move from it's original position as I
reach for it to make some type of control input adjustment.

MSFS simulates turbulence, but not with physical motion.

Victor airways have published minimum altitudes,

Yep, published on the sectional the same as any other route.

Give me an example.

Terrain avoidance is always your problem and it makes no difference whether
you are on or off of a Victor airway.

In both cases you have to look at the Sectional and see what the minimum
altitude is for the route.

The sectional doesn't give a minimum altitude for the route. That would be on
the IFR charts.

Lack of understanding what is on a Sectional noted.

Lack of understanding how to do route planning noted.

It is impossible to do anything unsafe in a computer simulation of flight.

No matter what you do, you are still sitting in a chair in front of a
computer screen.

If you need the threat of harm from any mistakes you make just to get you to
behave like a good pilot, there's a problem.

Delusional, irrelevant babble.

Obviously you don't really know how to read a Sectional and you have to
determine the minimum safe altitude from the Sectional whether you are on
or off of a Victor airway.

The minimum safe altitude for an airway isn't necessarily the same as the
maximum elevation figure for the quadrant on the sectional. Furthermore,
OROCAs on IFR charts are still different (with a more generous buffer).

Ice cream has no bones.

Enough that there have been several articles about the subject.

Can you point me to some of them?

Google.

It is the deluding yourself part that make you "special".

Are you insane?

Did your mother never teach you the difference between real and pretend?

I payed an instructor to teach me how to read a Sectional and do flight
planning for the purpose of real flying.

Since all you do is play with a PC flight simulator, it doesn't matter
where or how you "fly". It is just a game.
