You're not a pilot. All you do is regurgiate stuff you've read without any understanding of how it applies in the real world. You've never flown a real aircraft IFR and have no idea what it is like. You just fantasize. I thought my point was clear enough without the illustration, but thanks, anyway. |

She wasn't illustrating your point, but I can see why you'd "think" she was. |

This helps the person doing the insulting hide the fact that he doesn't know anything about IFR flight. How much IFR time do you have, MX? There are lots of low-time pilots without instrument ratings on these groups, and many of them are insecure and aggressive. So, is your instrument rating current? -c |

How much IFR time do you have, MX? In the sim? Probably a couple thousand hours. I don't log it. How much IMC time do you have? |

You don't know **** from shinola about flying Anthony. You're just a moron. |

Really? How would you know you nitwit? They are both simulations. MSFS simulates IFR flight (with or without IMC). Flying under a hood in a real aircraft simulates IFR flight in IMC. But a hood is not real IMC. If flying under a hood is useful (and it is), then flying MSFS is also useful. The fact is, anything other than the real thing is just a simulation; if simulations are not useful, then that has to apply across the board, not just to simulations that you prefer to dismiss. If MSFS is not useful, then neither is flying under a hood, or looking at a drawing made by an instructor, or examining illustrations in a book, or watching an instructional DVD. Fortunately, all of these simulations _are_ useful and _will_ help with the real thing. Some of them are a lot safer that the real thing, too--and the slight loss of accuracy with respect to the real thing is more than compensated by the reduced or eliminated risk of dying. Now, you can poo-poo MSFS simulation of IFR in IMC and simply wait until you encounter the real thing and pray that you deal with it correctly, but to me it seems a lot smarter to go with the simulation, which will give you at least some vague handle on the real thing, and that is surely better than nothing at all. |

I'd call you a ****ing moron for that response, that would require increasing your IQ by several thousand orders of magnitude. You are stupid beyond belief Anthony. Flying under the hood only simulates the inability to see out of the window. You are still in a real airplane and experience the real sensations of flight. It is quite different than sitting in front of a ground based simulator. If the first time you, by yourself, enter IMC and have never flown under the hood, you'll have no idea of how the physical sensations can affect you. Flying under the hood, which is done with a minimum of a safety pilot in the seat next to you, does let you experience these sensations and how they can misdirect you. You then learn how to counter your inborn instincts to react to these physical sensations. No one has poo-pooed MSFS simulation of IMC for what it is good for. It is you, you dumb ****, who has constantly poo-pooed real pilots who have real experience in IMC solely because their real world experience doesn't match you inorantly misconcieved conclusions, based on misuse of a tool, of what real IMC will be like. I'd love to stick your pompous ass in a real airplane in IMC and see how long you last. I'll bet you won't even last 90 seconds. You, being the asshole you are, constantly misinterpet what every pilot in this newsgroup has been telling you about MSFS. No pilot has said it doesn't serve a purpose. It is a good tool for practicing instrument procedures. But, like any tool, it can be misused, especially by those (you Anthony) who don't understand the tool's limitations. MSFS is a terrible tool to learn basic flying skills. And, all your attempts to say otherwise is pure bull ****. You've never flown an airplane. Other's in this forum who have flow for many years have pointed out the differences. You, Anthony, can't comprehend what they are saying because you lack the frame of reference. You're nothing but fecal matter wired to a keyboard. |
