Question to Mxmanic

Well, in real aviation the most valuable use of simulators is for practising
upsets and other abnormal situations that are not safe or feasible to do in
the real aircraft.

Not everyone uses simulation as practice for real aviation. There are many
possible purposes to which simulation can be put, and just as many different
types of simulators. No simulator simulates every aspect of reality
accurately, but nobody requires a duplicate of reality, only a reproduction of
those aspects of reality that are of interest.

So it would be an extremely useful feature to have in MSFS.

I don't know that it would be "extremely" useful, but it would certainly be a
plus. Then again, if real pilots don't use MSFS for training, would it really
be that important?

Besides, the idea is to avoid wake turbulence, not to fly through it, so the
only real training required is procedural.

In addition, if the feature were in MSFS, it would aid realism to basic
flight training as well i.e. flying a correct 360-degree turn.

Are 360-degree turns common? Why would they encounter wake turbulence?

In the sim it makes no sense to avoid wake turbulence because you will
never know if you succeeded, its an exercise in futility.

Real life is like that, too. You only know when you fail to avoid wake
turbulence, not when you succeed.

Half full or half empty?

from an engineering standpoint, the bottle wasn't designed
correctly...........

I was JUST about to say this!!! :-))

Couldn't be more wrong. In real life, you most certainly know when
you succeed in avoiding wake turbulence.

Wimp!!

He meant the bottom half.
After he'd drank the top half to get to it :-)

Incorrect statement.

No, you don't. You don't know if you avoided it, or if it simply wasn't there
to begin with.

In any case, avoidance is the only safe procedure. Trying to fly in wake
turbulence isn't a good idea.

I'm always surprised by posts that simply say "wrong," but don't explain why.

The way this one got twisted around down at the Naval Test Pilot School was
as follows;

Procurement Office ; "This bottle is half empty"
Maintainence Office ; " This bottle is half full"
Flight Test Engineering Office :
"Yo Jack....call those idiots over at Procurement and tell them this damn
bottle is twice as big as it has to be "
