conspiracy theories

[THE SKULLS]

---

The effect was, I didn't have to exert much effort sa pag palupad, because the physics and avionics was replicated by the simulator.

unsa ka tuiga nagpractice? can we see your setup sa PC?
does it look like the real manubela sa plane cockpit?
or you are using a joystick, mouse and keyboard.

Me, flying an RC 450 Helicopter in a PC simulation, I use my PS2 controller.
Pasabot ba ani nga dili sad ko mag-exert much effort?
And I believed nga lahi ra jud sa real thing.

I haven't drove a real plane, pero nakalingkod sad ko sa co-pilot seat sa gimaniho sa among piloto nga silingan. Gipagunit/gipakupot ko sa manubela. Gipabasa ko sa mga S.O.P. ug sa mga bulhaton una ka molupad.

Sa Arizona ni! Black and white paman ang mga camera sa una gud!

basin colored na to oi, pero black and white substance lang jud ang present sa area.

People think differently, some people pay attention to details from general to very specific things. We don't blame them for being like that. This thread is supposed to be open for a person's opinion about such conspiracies. Let's stop that "Stop listening to conspiracy theories", "Why do they oppose on such things?" etc etc, like SRSLY, we're free to share what we believe, if you're not into it, then don't bother. Just let them be. Let them speak for what they believe.

Let me ask you a question. Supposing there was a thread in iStorya.net entitled "How to Rape Women", would you be happy that such a thread exists? Of course not, because raping is a heinous act and a crime against humanity.

The kind of reasoning used by "Conspiracy Theory" buffs are classified under pseudoscience (Pseudoscience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia What is pseudoscience?). It can be harmful in that it spreads false information and incorrect methods of logic and reasoning, esp. if the target audience are young minds. Ergo, by spreading "Conspiracy Theory" ideas, you are poisoning the minds of young people, which in some ways can be viewed as a crime against proper education and the teaching of the correct methods of reasoning, and you're doing something no different than someone who posts "How to Steal Electricity from VECO" or "How to Be a Corrupt Government Official"

As an amateur astronomer, it is therefore my duty and responsibility to make sure that ideas which spring from pseudoscientific foundations be corrected and the records set straight. If I don't do anything, I would be part of the crime being committed.

Now on to your comments about the black and white photos.

Those are NOT NASA photos...hahaha checkmate. See what I mean? Dali ra kaayo mo mag conclude from photos, as in kakita na mo sa just TWO photos kabalo na dayon mo unsa na sila.

So what are they? Those two photos were NOT taken by NASA or any AMERICANS. They were taken by the Soviet (Russian) Lunokhod rovers that landed and roamed on the moon:



Lunokhod programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now most Apollo Hoax buffs do believe these are REAL moon photos kay unmanned ra daw, unya mas masaligan daw ang Russians kaysa mga Americans...[i]unya kamo diri nag sulti nga sa Arizona ni? Hahahahaha! Na, nagkontra na hinoon mo sa mga parehas ninyo! Hilarious! You cannot even agree amongst yourselves, yet you insist on what you believe in. The comedy.

I am a member of the Philippine Flightsimmers Group (PFSG). Philippine Flight Simmers Group Several iStoryans are also members of this group, one of them being Tarmac, and most are real pilots. Tarmac was the PIC (pilot-in-command) of the Cessna that I was allowed to fly back in 2002 as co-pilot, in that photo.



Summary of my Short Flying Experience
The trip was a short hop from RPVM (Mactan-Cebu Int'l) to RPVT (Tagbilaran), a flight of about 40 minutes. Shortly after takeoff, after levelling off at a cruising altitude of around 1500 feet, Tarmac gave me the yoke. He "quizzed" me to use a Garmin GPS to fly towards Bohol, find the Chocolate Hills, and circle around them, then set course to RPVT prior to descent. I was "Pilot Flying" for about 10-15 minutes, and everything I learned in flight simulation came into play--I was monitoring altitude and the VSI, to make sure I wasn't losing altitude while doing turns while flying over the hills. I did have trouble with the trim controls and the throttle because yes, like you said, the real deal is indeed different from PC controls. However, that's beside the point--one of the things you learn in simulation is "procedural training", in that the presence of the instrumentation in the PC simulation, with a good degree of "likeness" to real instruments, gives you the necessary familiarization, to the point nga if tinuod na nga instruments imong makit-an, you automatically know what they do, and you know if whatever is happening to the aircraft is good or bad. So, that flight was indeed a demonstration that flight simulation is a plus for someone who has NEVER flown a real aircraft before.

Tarmac and the other iStoryan PFSGers are also flight simulation enthusiasts, and other members of PFSG who became pilots all started out like I did--by flying simulated aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator--the only difference? I didn't went on and become a real pilot because it was not a career path I wanted to pursue, but I could have chosen to be one if I wanted to, esp. because of the fact that I have more than 20 years experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator (starting with version 2.02 in 1984). One member of the PFSG (a Cebu Pacific Airbus A320 Pilot) just earned "Pilot of the Year" award for 2010, and he is one of those that believe in the importance and significance of flight simulator experience in your training to be a pilot. The PFSG is a testament to the notion that flight simulation can really be your ticket to a career in aviation--it factors in, as proven by its members who went on to become real pilots.

You're actually comparing "Ace Combat" to Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is being used by the U.S. Air Force Academy and U.S. Navy Academy for supplemental flight training? ROFLMAO I suppose you're going to say "Ace Combat" is also being used by the Air Force and Navy...riiiight.

O, wala lagi ni comment about the black and white Lunokhod photos. Ngano? Kay nasakpan man nga pataka-taka ug comment nga wala diay kabalo unsa ang photo.

Naa ka anang mga requirements Nag plano raba ko na mag palit og simulator kay mag pilot ko.

Kanang sa imong picture,gipapule ra cguro ka og kadyot sa pilot ana.Kay ang akong na hibal-an mo skwela paman kag 1 year para sa Private pilot diha sa mactan which cost million$.

Kana dyud inyong problema--dili man dyud mo mobasa ug tarong pataka taka ug putak unya dili kabalo unsay gibasa. Just think--Did I ever claim that I handled take off and landing? Cruise was just around 15 minutes sa entire flight and I did handle cruise. Unsa man ang gusto nimong ipagawas--nga bakakon ko? Like this?

PANTALEON: Ayaw mo pagtuo ni rodsky kay bakakon na, nag pagawas diri nga piloto siya unya dili man kay daghang requirements to be a pilot. Dili siya pilot, gipagunit lang na sa yoke for a few minutes pero kay maayo man siya mag iniglis, murag ang gawas expert na to be a pilot. So ayaw mo padala niana maayo lang na sa words.

Kana ba ang gusto nimong ipagawas?
