Don’t know if you’re up to date on this forum atm, but the hottest topic is grumpy old buggers arguing about who’s the hardest core simmer.

Must be something about Internet forums…

Yeah it has always been that way. Along with the snarky comments about other platforms.

I'm 35.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

It happens here all the time too…

Many trying to show they’ve simmed since the time of the ENIAC or their real life flying experience, ratings and types flown…

When a poster was simply asking if say, “Does this airplane seem realistic?” Or something like it.

You should just out-trump them. Tell them all they are mere amateurs and 'noobs'; you've been moaning about stuff since the very early days of moaning, back when when moaning about things was done with 8 bit wireframe grumpiness.

I started with Flightsim4 so meh meh!!😆

I am the most hardcore simmer with the biggest logbook ever. I've done deadstick landings, on a moving truck, using the FSX Century of Flight Wright Glider, in 0 visibility, with 999 knot direct crosswinds, inverted, with inverted controls and my monitor upside-down but also facing a mirror. Did I mention I used a keyboard with all but the backspace key missing? Because I'm just that hardcore.

When I went for my interview with G4, I didn't tell them about my 2,386 total time. I just showed them a screenshot of my 1,337 P3D hours. They said I put the 'L' in pilot. 😎

 

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
