I'm looking forward to future patches just to see what sort of extra insanity gets introduced.

1.8.4.0:
- Gravity is reversed for C4J. Fly inverted or you'll "fall" into orbit.
- ATC can be sassy and will sometimes tell "yo momma" jokes to pilots.

Welp Amazon cancelled my stick order because their supplier couldn't provide it. gently caress you Bezos.

I wouldn't have ordered from them at all, but figured that of all the retailers to order from the dystopian megacorp would be most likely to get their hands on the product when they said they would.

Nothing wrong will going full sim nerd, but the moment they start to take professional pride in flying fake airplanes as though it means their opinion is worth a drat, :commissar:

The best part of flight sims is doing the things that are horribly irresponsible to do in real life.

That's a funny way to spell 'fly budget commuter tubes between anonymous German cities in a ratio of 20 mins programming the flight computer : 30 mins in the air' :rolldice:

For my next flight I'll be taxing to the runway then heading back to the gate due to a warning light.

Also keep in mind these simmers with $10,000 home cockpit setups could literally have learned to fly a private plane if they so chose, in which case they would have a clue what they are talking about.

It's so bad in flight sim sometimes too - I can get pretty caught up in trying to be 'authentic' with tubeliner procedures and stuff. Looking up specific questions, you get a ton of exclusively sim-dads weighing in on what THEIR idea of proper procedure is and how it should be done exactly and drown out real pilots whose answer is usually "it doesn't matter/it depends/every pilot/airline does it different" for any number of weird behaviors.

I def remember a real airbus pilot who was streaming and having to argue with some guy, who had never flown a plane, that there's no difference between calling "gear up" and "gear retracted" or whatever and painstakingly explain that it's literally just a case of saying the words in the airline's procedure manual.

Or, like, anything besides Another Tubeliner. Don't get me wrong, high fidelity airliner systems modeling is neat but if you want diverse people coming to this game (and spending money on it!) you need weird/different/interesting stuff. They are making some progress though: the Wright Flyer and high def modeling of the Wright Brothers memorial (was that there before?), helicopters, gliders, old interesting planes like DC-3s are all great. I wish they'd double down on stuff like bush trips, people need stuff to do in the game. Buy NeoFly and integrate that, whatever.
