Ron,
It seems *** and *** have a knack for not quite reading my posts correctly. My post suggests that our "Hobby" as a whole, becomes less fun when guy's post how well they fly, without inputting the vast amount of time they spend getting there. In other words, the average normal hobbyist gets a distorted view of the effort involved in reaching or duplicating the unbelievable maneuvers the high end professional pilots(large time sim/real flier) discuss in varies forums. And, in trying to achieve the results they read about, the "average" hobbyist usually loses interest, or begins to feel he's not up to par with the rest of the pilots. In any event, the original excitement of the hobby begins to wane and become "less fun".
So, please look again at the post, because I don't seem to see anywhere I attempted to dictate how much time spent in the hobby is the correct amount for a “pilot to have fun”.
Thanks,
Pete
