try telling that to a wide-eyed 50 year-old flight addict as his sweaty palm grips his joystick for the final approach and bumby landing.

 

LOL...yep, that's me on my 1 mile vis/200 foot ceiling manual ILS into Santa Barbara...close to the airport when the needles start to swing.  Where is it?...hand on the throttle...any second now...any second now.

(Joystick) does not in fact exist, either.

 

Yup, you got it.  That favourite joystick of yours is made mostly of empty space and swirling molecules that give the appearance of form and solidity .-the truth being that no-thing is in fact solid.  Welcome to the universal virtual simulator ;-)

For the doubters who think 'this Hobby is almost over', well... the Exit Door is right over there.  →

 

There are many other Hobbies those of you out there can invest in, like...

 

NASCAR

 

FaceBook

 

Becoming a "Belieber"

 

Jacks

 

Jumping Rope

 

(you get the idea...)

 

If you think this Hobby is over then move aside, and make room for the ones out there who think it's alive and well.

I don't think our flightsim hobby is over by any means. But I'm very curios to see what's beyond that 'exit' door that you mentioned, so I'm going to walk through it now and find out.

---------------------------

5 minutes later (Text sent from my mobile)...

 

Er, the exit door has closed behind me and seems to be locked. Its cold out here and there are a lot of ex-simmers walking around looking quite vacant and lost. So could someone come down and let me back into the flightsim hobby house please?.

Hullo! 

Anybody in there?

I can see you all through the keyhole, hiding in there.

I'd say go play WarThunder for a bit, then tell me flight simulation is dead. Sure the entry point is arcade but man you have such a blast and the simulation part is nice too.
