Are Profesional pilots doing barrel rolls or trying to go supersonic in a jumbo jet during their (reportedly quite expensive) training time?

No, but apparently the designers of professional sims have a sense of humor. As a mechanic, I have to do biennial engine run and taxi training in the Level D sim at Flight Safety. We were simulating taxiing from one side of the airport to the other while talking to ATC. They instructed us to hold short of a runway for landing traffic Looking out the left window, I watched as an airport fire truck made a perfect approach and landing 😁

I haven't, Mr. Misogyny. Know your antagonist.

Edit; sorry, are you saying Goran, for example, hasn't asked people in the XP forums to get out...?

I wasn´t quoting you. Know how to read.

Looks like Mr. "Oh, they have a TBM in their sim so they must be plagiarizing me", and "Austin got a lunatic email, so that's enough proof for me to believe that Asobo is plagiarizing XP's FM (well, it's just my personal belief, and I always give people the benefit of the doubt), "seeds of suspicion" is pinging me.

I never pinged you.  I never mentioned names.  But ok, that's a helluva name you gave me.

Yes, I did mention he has a daughter. The reason I mentioned this is that in the XP forum, Janov (who I'm sure will be happy to see this brought up again, but now that Goran 'the seeds of suspicion' M has decided to bring it up) is because Janov made a misogynistic remark about MSFS fans waking up with "ugly chicks", and I asked him if he was ok with his daughter growing up in a world where his dad's friends made that kind of joke. I referred to the fact you have a daughter, and fail to challenge misogyny in your friends.

Why?  If you have a problem with something Janov said, bring it up with him.  He's a big boy.  He can handle himself without me going in to bat for him.

Don't bring up family members. Period.

BTW,  friend of a friend who was drinking in a bar in Luxemborg recently said he overheard a story that some of the Asobo guys were going to let the air out of the front left wheel of Austin's Ferrari. Do you think I should send Austin an email to warn him...?

Up to you.  Why are you asking me?

I have absolutely asked why they continue to frequent the X-Plane forums if they hate X-Plane.  100% yes.  Apparently, according to some people, it's ok to do that. In my case, I don't hate MSFS.  I've even said it has the best scenery and lighting in ANY flight sim.  So in that regard, I feel like it's ok for me to be here.  I'm not making personal attacks.  Trivialising mental health.  etc...  I've actually been quite civil.  And already there's at least 1 person who is offended(?) at me being here.

I did / have / am continuing to do on a regular basis. You are not. Why?

I didn't bring up your family members here. You did. Although it doesn't surprise me you're confused. You tend to be confused.

No.  You're the one getting confused now.  I never mentioned any names.  I kept you anonymous.  You came in here with guns blazing and went on a rampage after I mentioned that someone thought it was appropriate to bring up my daughter to make some kind of ridiculous point in which I wasn't even involved.  Could have kept it anonymous.  But oh well.  Thank you for admitting it.  Can we get back to discussing flight models?

I find it tiresome that you guys hijack  good threads on other forums to preach Austin's gospel.

Hey, I feel your pain.  The X-Plane forums goes through that on a regular basis from the same 2 people preaching how great MSFS is and how bad X-Plane is.  So, I'm right there with ya.

Ok.  And what part of that seems out of order to you?  I even re-quoted TonyWob/moderator.  What exactly is your point?

That he SHOULDN'T go to the MSFS forums if he hates X-Plane???  (Yeah...I'm confused)

Well no, see, this is something you do. "Oh, I believe from an insane email that Austin published that Asobo have plagiarized my TBM. But anyway, can we get back to the topic?"

You drop little aggression bombs and then try to disown them. So, I ask you, what is the huge moral transgression in saying that you have a daughter, so you might not want to be so forgiving of jokes about ugly chicks from your friends? Explain the moral hazard to me.

I feel your pain. I know it's bad. I know it's childish. But godammit, I'm gonna go ahead and do the same thing.

As I said to Janov,  the boorishness of MFS f*nboys is no excuse for you  to do the same...

Ok, well that's a gross misquote.  But ok.

Incorrect.  I said if there is some kind of proof, beyond a shadow of a doubt, then Asobo have a lot to answer for.  And then...guess what...I aologised for any misinterpretation.  I never accused anyone of anything.  I said IF they plagiarized.  I know you like to put your own little spin on things, but I'm here to correct you.

I'm glad to see we all get along nicely 🙂
