Asobo CEO gets his PPL!

Love to see this level of commitment from the top. I asked him if he's going to implement anything he's experienced in the sim but he's understandably tight lipped lol.

It must be nice to have deep pockets.

Well, I'd say not as simbol on the P3D forum section has already stated its only a game and we're all going to be disappointed in MSFS2020 as a flight simulator. 

Hopefully we can collect points as we fly along by running over shooting sky rabbits and we can re-energize ourselves by running over floating fluro purple squares in the sky.....

If that's the case I would say that "disappointed" is the understatement of the century. (not for me, I've had very low expectations from the outset😁)

I hope MS contributed to this valuable investment. After all, it's for sake of research and development of its own project 😛

Didn't they mention that (a part of) the team were doing their PPL to get a better understanding of flying?

That sounds awesome! Please Asobo 🤣

Well, congrats to him on getting his ticket. Since the grand tradition is to buy everyone in the bar a drink when you do that, he's managed to get off lightly at the moment thanks to the lockdown. 🙂

It's a French one, does that count?

It does not say ENGLISH PROFICIENT so technically, no it is not ICAO compliant. 😄

I mean, who can read that thing anyway?🤪

Seriously, Congrats! on your achievement!

Pretty sure that makes it a JAR one since they are part of the EU.

[Ron Attwood 3,464]

Chock, for goodness sake! You'll spoil a perfectly good thread by mentioning the 'Oi yuo' 🙄

Seriously, congratulation on your PPL. A friend of mine did his and I saw some of the stuff you have to bone up on...Scarey difficult. If it was just about flying a plane...almost everyone on this forum would be able to get a PPL. Even me..well, maybe.

This is a good thing...great for the Hobby.
