Hmmm
Perhaps another angle:
Why if you believe the official story, would you bother to come onto a conspiracy site to begin with?
I believe it is your subconciousnesses that have bought you here. A minghty powerful tool it is.

No, it's like passing an accident on the freeway or watching Jerry Springer. I am compelled to look out of shear entertainment value.

If that is the case as you are stating, why is it in order to become a certified pilot to fly commercial jetliners, not only do students have to fly with instructors for quite a number of flight hours, but also maintain high proficiency during quite a number of solo flight hours? Plus, pass written tests.
Could it be that there is no actual relative comparisons between using a flight simulator, and actually having to deal with all conditions involved in flying commercial jetliners?
Therefore, relatively speaking, isn't a flight simulator a better comparison to a video arcade game, than actually flying commercial jetliners under any and all what can be highly stressful physical conditions?
Particularly, in light of the fact, flight simulators are pre-programmed by computers (virtual reality), and physical reality is not.

Hi,
No, I do not believe in everything, as explained in the "official" reports.
We spend, IMHO, far, far to much time seriously discussing absolutely fringe ideas which discredits the whole movement.
I can, with 99% certainty, relate that most people who come across me on these boards would INSIST I am a "debunker". Actually, I am not. What bothers me is the Truth movement is so fringe, so polluted with dishonest people and spends it's time talking about things that are - honestly now - absurd that I find myself on the debunker's side most of the time.

Well, I would certainly be highly interested to see someone become proficient during all actual weather conditions in some flight simulator.
Or another plane suddenly crossing a path and having to actually expertly maneuver all that weight, mass, momentum and velocity of actual Boeing commercial jetcraft, etc. Under all actual air pressure and gravity conditions. particularly sudden changes due to planes having any tech or machine problem - major or minor.
As I previously stated, simulators are pre-programmed computers and real life is not.
Are you saying that pilots of commercial jetliners no longer have to spend many quality hours with and without instructors before they are certified to actually fly carrying a payload?
How would you like your surgeon to be solely trained on a surgical simulator and operate on you?
Originally posted by OrionStarsFlight simulators are like playing at video arcarde. Any movement to simulate flight is hardly enough to prepare someone to immediately be capable of flying any actual commercial jetliner.

That's wrong!
Type ratings, recurrancy training and tests, and lots of other things that's
considered too dangerous or too expencive to do in the real aircraft is done in the sim.
It's certified just like the real thing.
