Thank you cumm thru. The information you gave me certainly will help me in trying to do TR. I can do other 3D stuff except TR and rolling harriers. With the info you have given me, I have understood more. I will try to correct my engine's attitude. I have a 3W 85 twin in a Hangar 9 Cap and it tends to go to the left when I'm trying to hover.

I would concur with the Italian guy in some aspects of having a simulator but it's not everything. I have a real flight simulator but I didn't care about the realism aspect of it. I just cared about training myself on automatically feeding the inputs necessary in a certain maneuver. The realism is acceptable but not enough. It can't compare to flying the real mccoy. I also use the sim just to find out what the plane is going to do in my !QUOT!What if's!QUOT! inputs before trying it out for real at the field. I bought my simulator strictly for helicopters because I wanted to learn how to fly them. It helped me a lot in knowing before hand what the helio would do with difficult maneuvers and as I've said getting that instinctive response on the sticks by just doing it repeatedly in the simulator. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SIMULATOR.

BUT ITALIAN FLIER, DON'T GET ME WRONG, as I've said, it will help somebody in some ways but it doesn't stop there. You have to go out and apply what you have learned. Again, the bottom line is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Now, I'm sure the 3D experts also uses these simulators as they have been raving about AeRO FLY, no doubt because we have simulators now to practice on. Several years ago, we didn't have these simulators! We didn't have any choice but to go out there and burn fuel. That's how other 3d experts learned before. Now, people learned 3D thru simulators then do it for real out there on the field.

The issue is not SIMULATORS VERSUS PRACTICE! There's no doubt in my mind, these two compliment each other. Those people who never had the chance of having a simulator but became proficient in 3D anyway, might say otherwise but that is being ignorant. Those who says, they can be proficient in 3D by spending more time with simulators and less practice like you , are just being also ignorant. I agree with you that beginners will have less crashes but I don't agree with you in saying !QUOT!less practice!QUOT!.


I bet the moment you start flying 3D for real, you will be out there burning fuel! Then, you'll see lesser and lesser your simulator. The only time you'll come back to the simulator is to just try out new maneuvers that you would like to practice out in the field. Once you have mastered these maneuvers, I guarantee you, your Simulator is going to start collecting dust just like mine.



The only reason why I think these argument has Begin going on is because as a beginner, you have demonstrated your lack of appreciation, your closemindedness, your lack of gratitude, your being full of sarcasm which you have masked by these flowery play with the English language, your lack of tact. You have asked for help like it is an imposition on others. Nobody is obligated to help you but yourself. You have offended a lot of people in this forum that is why you had gotten some bad responses. And when the answers were not satisfactory to you, you gave out insults and sarcastic remarks.

I'm with you Italiano, but I'm not with you. if you know what I mean. You can take the things I've said for what ever its worth to you. I just like to give my 2 cents here. Have a nice day.
Hey guys, if you sincerely think there is merit in helping Italiano, knock yourself out. Otherwise, just talk to each other and just let him watch. He said previously that he will just teach himself anyway. So, let him!!!
