October 25, 201213 yr In this community, with simulator pilots (with some real pilots mixed in) being the vast majority, I often think we forget what these games/sims look like to the vast majority of the rest of humanity. I don't think this guy will ever be concerned (ever!) with accurate climb rates, yet without him, a sim will never make enough money nowadays to be commercially viable. I'm glad he's happy! Consider this the the ultimate non-simmer review. (Fair warning, there is one quick curse at the beginning) We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

October 27, 201213 yr I must say, he sure is very entertaining. I also needed a good laugh tonight. It does show what the sim is capable of through.

February 16, 201313 yr Twiggys, I have no idea what that screen shot has to do with this thread, but thanks for resurrecting it. That video was incredible. It's all too easy to forget how much pure fun a flight sim can be, and we need things like this to remind us once in a while. See the world through new eyes. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
February 16, 201313 yr lol!!! Larry; this was intended for the "Changing the time of day in Aerofly" topic. See what happens when your 2 year son wants nothing more than to sit in his daddy lap an fly, you get distracted. At 2 yrs; he too, has the flying bug. Alan Twiggys AOPA Member "All Things Aviation"
February 16, 201313 yr At 2 yrs; he too, has the flying bug. I'll bet he loved that video! Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
February 16, 201313 yr He's actually very funny, one of the only people i subscribe to on YouTube. Watch some of his other reviews, the 'Garbage Truck Simulator' one is very funny. Ian R Tyldesley
February 17, 201313 yr For those of you who found him funny he has just done FSX: It's pretty painful to watch, but very funny. Ian R Tyldesley
February 17, 201313 yr Author Thus is displayed the experience of the vast majority of regular people who try FSX and after one or two attempts never come back again. We wont even discuss Xplane....... :lol: We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

February 17, 201313 yr Moderator Yes, typical of nearly everyone, he goes first for the "most difficult" aircraft in the hangar, instead of one of the relatively docile ones... I've always thought that FS would have been much better had it forced the new simpilot to go through a training program, and only "unlocking" progressively more complex aircraft after having passed a flight check and solo flights...
