Without giving anything away, I'll say that it's definitely work... and that there are reasons I'm happy to put the work in. Feel free to interpret from there... 😎 I was on a beta for a few airports and GSX and while it wasn’t as monotonous as beta testing a whole sim, it’s not exactly fun and games. I personally couldn’t even apply to be on the MSFS beta since I’m still on Win 7 and my rig isn’t up to par, but even if it was, I’m no sure I’d want to do it with all the other stuff I have going on. Just not enough hours in the day for me. I’ll be fine just waiting for the final product. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
May 20, 20206 yr @cmpbellsjc - This one isn't as structured as a beta test - it'll probably get that way when it grows up to be a beta. But it's still much more a test environment than an entertainment experience. Which is exactly what I'd expect. I'll be happy to have the entertainment later - maybe when everybody else does, too.

May 20, 20206 yr Well, you lovers of authoritarian government have won. Our governor has ordered everyone to wear face masks in public starting Saturday or pay a 100 dollar fine. Just one more freedom tossed down the well of oblivion. What's next? Mandating my diet? Fining me for eating red meat, butter and eggs? Those of you who will applaud our governor's decision watch your backs. Big Sister is smiling in New Mexico. Noel Edited May 20, 20206 yr by birdguy The tires are worn. The shocks are shot.

May 20, 20206 yr Human nature at its most stubborn has probably forced her hand. I detect all kinds of agenda at play behind your comment, not one of them to do with common sense. Edited May 20, 20206 yr by Reader

Meanwhile you will have to live with my decision which doesn't affect you at all. Noel I’d like to know what you would say to someone in a hospital icu because you infected them while practicing your mask protest at the convenience store line.

Noel Next thing you know, they’ll regulate how fast you can drive on the road. Or maximum occupancy in an elevator. Or forcing you to yield the right of way to an ambulance.

But you do bring up an interesting second insight into your thinking. Do you find it ok that you hurt someone, as long as you cannot be held responsible for it? But the first question remains, what would you say to that person? Edited May 20, 20206 yr by KevinAu

All the cases you mentioned are sensible. A one size fits all masking regulation which makes sense in the Navajo Nation and the Albuquerque metro area is not required in areas that have a very low number of cases viz-a-viz the local population and very slow growth. Let me ask you a question Kevin. Is there any government regulation you disagree with? Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

But the first question remains, what would you say to that person? Sure. It would be OK for me to shoot a home invader. IO cold cite sme more examples but it would be getting into politics. For your second (first) question. "Too bad you were in the wrong place at the wrong time." Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

But for health and safety regs, what’s not to like? Unless you can’t drive fifty five.
