Sims

No your basis for judgment is not as valid as anyone else's. You have no
direct knowledge of one of the points of comparison, there for your judgment
is without basis.

Get over it, you just don't know what your talking about.

My basis for a judgement is just as valid as anyone else's.

Opinions are opinions, not established facts. That's something that
everyone
needs to learn and understand. Even a pilot with a billion hours of
experience is still expressing an opinion, not an established fact. The
distinction is important because decisions made on opinions treated as
facts
are often extremely poor decisions. And if you treat opinions as facts
you
make yourself vulnerable to manipulation, which will almost never be in
your
favor.

As I've said, learning that all opinions are equal takes time. Some learn the
easy way, and some learn the hard way.

The sim is cool but it doesn't even come close.

Purely a matter of opinion.

Only if you haven't done it.

I love simming as much as anyone here (with the possible exception of
you), and have taken it to great lengths with our full-sized Kiwi
Flight Simulator. See it he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/flight_simulator.htm

That said, there is simply no comparison between the two experiences.
Flying the Kiwi is like watching a video of the sun rising -- pretty,
but nothing like being in the moment.

Which isn't to say that flying the sim isn't a valid, fun, educational
experience. With a rig like our Kiwi, it's possible to entertain
pilots (or oneself) for hours on end. I mean, where else can you
rocket through the Alps at Mach 1.4 for a nickel's worth of
electricity?

No, your basis for a judgment is not. It would be like you saying which
tastes better Pepsi or Coke when you have never tried Coke.

Kinda like trying to explain green to someone blind from birth.

The only problem is he says that green is exactly like red, and if you
disagree, you must "explain exactly what is different about them".

At the risk of jumping into the middle of a flame war, I'd like to
offer a few opinions. I fly real airplanes and play with simulators
now and then. Trust me, sims are not close to the real thing. 100%
of "flying" takes place after you leave the ground. All the
sensations of flight are what you feel, hear and see while moving your
airplane around in the sky. It isn't all going from A to B and
watching the scenery unfold on a monitor screen 20 inches in front of
your face. Even full motion multi-million dollar sims are not the
same as "flying". When you fly, if you love to fly, the expense is
secondary and only enters your mind at times when you are not flying
or not thinking about flying.

So do you fly a 747 or a F-18?


What's it matter? You couldn't fly a chuck glider.


I'll give you the point that simulators can be fun, but they pale in
comparison to flying.

That is purely a matter of opinion.

It's a fact, fjukktard.

Somehow I think your own death won;'t be an accident.

Purely a matter of opinion.


And there it is again.
