April 18, 201313 yr You know who I'm talking about? That tall guy from Germany (like myself!!!) who finally became #1 in the tennis world rankings. The bloke this song was all about "Boris is G E I L "? No, he's NOT dead. So, why would I mention him here?!? See, when this lad was still young (about Luke Pabari's age today ...), he had a goal. He was mentally set, concentrated and firmly aimed at achieving that one very goal: Becoming #1 in the tennis world rankings. Before he finally succeeded everything was fine with him. After achieving this at last, he would all change: Looked like he lost track in the following years. No goal anymore, no self-discipline, no rules ... and even no more m o r a l s (that's at least, what I was told!). So, this topic is all about asking you one very important question (a number of questions are about to follow - but basically it's the same question asked over and over again!): - Are you mentally prepared for the time after release of the (geil) PMDG B777? - Do you still have yet another goal in your life (other than still being alive when the T7 will be out at last - and other than still being able to move your limbs in order to shove around those fly-by-wire flight controls)? - Will you find even more meaning in life than just watching the brand new hybrid VNAV PTH feature doing its fabulous job? - Will you be able to keep up attitude and even ... m o r a l s (completely different from us: the guys from Germany)? No pain, no sweat. No offence intended (and no offense either). Just trying to live up to my responsiblity for the worldwide flightsim community, by asking: Are you prepared? What happened to AVSIM
April 18, 201313 yr Errrr... It's just another plane. A good one yes, but still "only" a simulator plane CASE: Fractal Terra Silver CPU: AMD R5 7800X3D 5.0Ghz RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 GPU: nVidia RTX 4070 Ti SUPER · SSDs: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe · PNY XLR8 CS3040 2TB M.2 PCIe · VIDEO: LG-32GK650F QHD 32" 144Hz FREE/G-SYNC · MISC: Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Joystick + Throttle Quadrant · MSFS2024 · Windows 11
April 18, 201313 yr You know who I'm talking about? Heck no. Luke Pabari's age I take it he's younger than 30? Are you mentally prepared for the time after release of the (geil) PMDG B777? I'll worry about that at a later time. Name a few 21 year olds that are mentally prepared for anything. Do you still have yet another goal in your life (other than still being alive when the T7 will be out at last - and other than still being able to move your limbs in order to shove around those fly-by-wire flight controls)? Visit the Grand Canyon and go fly over northern Canada. Will you find even more meaning in life than just watching the brand new hybrid VNAV PTH feature doing its fabulous job? Well the 77L is capable of ATL-JNB so I think there will be time to think of the meaning of life. Will you be able to keep up attitude and even ... m o r a l s (completely different from us: the guys from Germany)? Maybe. Errrr... It's just another plane. A good one yes, but still "only" a simulator plane Blasphemy! Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"
April 18, 201313 yr Author I'll worry about that at a later time. Name a few 21 year olds that are mentally prepared for anything. By someone who's 21 years old himself. Hilarious! What happened to AVSIM

April 18, 201313 yr Author Yep, looks like he's a PMDG fan: Those were the days with that very nifty, subtle product placement. PMDG, nearly 30 years ago, way ahead of the pack! B) What happened to AVSIM
April 18, 201313 yr Indeed! I never imagined there would be a connection between Boris Becker and the 777, but Oliver found one. Who knew that PMDG had such great foresight to team up with Boris way back then with some clever advertising for the future. Chris Sunseri
April 18, 201313 yr Author :lol: One of the strangest threads I've ever seen here on Avsim! I'm just trying to live up to your expectations!!! Indeed! I never imagined there would be a connection between Boris Becker and the 777, but Oliver found one. Who knew that PMDG had such great foresight to team up with Boris way back then with some clever advertising for the future. I once heard a lawyer stating that his occupation was no profession at all, but rather a branch of rhetoric. Guess it's the same with product marketing ... :ph34r: What happened to AVSIM

April 18, 201313 yr Author So the T in T7 stands for tennis? P: Point M: Match D: Double G: Game This pretty much reveals the PMDG marketing strategy some 30 years before, doesn't it? (compare post #6) As far as the T7 is concerned: We're all expecting a "Game, set and match: PMDG!" What happened to AVSIM
April 18, 201313 yr Does anyone still remember Boris Becker? Yes, I do. And I like most aubergine dishes. Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)
