Most people won't get it, but those who would get it would understand and appreciate a comment to commiserate with. Granted, I'm not going to go over and criticize real world technique on some random guy's sim video (unless he were putting it across as "realistic") in his comments section. I put up a beta preview of the 777 just running through the options on a flight and people still critique random (usually petty) things, and it wasn't even put up as a "SUPREME REALISM HD IMMERSION MAXXX" video as I was just doing a single-take, off the cuff, "here are the customization options" video. All the same...a quick comment over here about something making you cringe isn't exactly out of place (not that you said it was). Kyle Rodgers
September 17, 20187 yr Thanks. I had to fly the word not allowed things for 6 years. The Majestic sim comes with a lot of complimentary manuals and tutorials like the PMDG offerings, so things like starting and checklists are there to use. Bless the FADEC, in the real world you can actually really abuse the Q400 and it still functions ok. Edited September 17, 20187 yr by Olympic260 Removed baggage handller comment Mark Harris. Aged 54.
