That's carriage return ya young kid'ya. Now get off my lawn. 😄

 

I remember very well the first time I told someone to press the Return key and they didn't know what I was talking about.  I had to look at the keyboard to figure out that they were now called the Enter key.

The only multiplayer flight simming I've done was in Microsoft Flight.  There were no griefers and we all had a lot of fun.  In some ways it was like a chat room with a 3D world.

There was some serious flying and some just-for-fun stuff.  I showed one user a route I took to hit all the tour flight destinations on one island, for example, and a bunch of people got together to see how many aircraft they could land on top of a particular hangar at the same time (11 if I remember correctly) or on top of the Hilo control tower (3 was the max).  

One time I landed near a city to watch the sunset.  I only wish I'd had someone else there to discuss it at the time.

We know one guy here who really loves multiplayer formation flying.

Multiplayer air combat sims are incredible.  I spent a lot of time in WarBirds, sometimes joining the flight, sometimes just sitting in the "control tower" and watching the action.

i miss that . MS flight multiplayer was fun in a respectful way .

Are you attempting to quote and make fun of me?  Because this doesn't seem like a good way to have a respectful conversation.

Didn't say falling off.  But you seem to imply that flaps can't get damaged?

Lastly, I believe you meant the contraction of "you are" which is "you're".

You are talking about 'respectful conversation'? olderndirt was correctly replying to the OP who ask for flaps falling off if you exceed V_NE.

Heck, I remember when the question mark was on the 2 key, and your monitor was the TV tuned to channel 3.  Commodore VIC-20 ftw!

That and the Kaypro 2 were the only computers I ever owned that did not have a flight simulator of some sort on them. 😉

I assume you mean I was disrespectful.  I did not laugh at what he said, nor did I call him names, nor imply names.  So not sure what was disrespectful.  If you mean the your/you're, that was meant to be helpful.  In another post I told him how to do quotes, so we would know who he was talking to.  That was also meant to be helpful and not condescending.  It is hard to hear tone in a typed message.  Which is why I often edit my messages if I reread them and I think the wrong message could be sent.  

So, sorry if it was disrespectful.  And sorry if this reply somehow came off as disrespectful.  (That is not sarcasm, but sincere)

Never been a big fan of MP flights myself but watching some of the Asobo’s vids makes me wish in a way to do some, like the ones you see in a Trent Palmer’s real life video on Youtube where buddies land their Cub on a remote hill.

I just thought it was fun to wing kiss or refuel with a hose in MP, my post does not relate to griefing. The possibilty to ghost your plane should be added indeed.

Did you ever have anyone ask you where the "ANY" key was?

My aunt once called me in a panic because her computer "has done something against the law" and she was going to get in trouble with the cops. 

 

..No Aunt, that's not what "illegal operation" means.

Of course! 😄  One smartguy (in person) said he wanted to press the shift key.  I got called out by a moderator by being a bit snarky on a forum when I told a guy he could press "any key, any key at all" and had to explain to the mod that this guy was a good friend and we went around and around like this occasionally.  Oh, and the guy asking about the any key on the forum was serious.

Some years ago I had a friend do a wingkiss with another aircraft. It didn't end well.

The XB-70/F-104 event didn't turn out too good either.
