thinking a 2000$ audiocable would teleport me to audio-Nirvan

You could easily topple the empire that is Monster Cable if you could break that farce.  I have $1000 going to the 1st person who can come to my house, watch the 1st Jar Jar scene 10 times...and 2 of those times I switch out my $50 Monster HDMI cable with an Amazon Basics $5 one...and they correctly picked those times. 🙂

Us measly humans are so susceptible to marketing hype...glad I'm not one of them. (well...not any more.hehe...I DID pay an extra $100 for a S/N ratio upgrade I could never hear)

And as luck would have it...we have a NEO in that movie AND and NEO in flightsim.  Coincidence?   I think not!

Similarly, if you crash in that Matrix thingy, your body doesn't die, only your mind (or memory)...just as in flightsim, if you crash, no physical harm comes to you (unless you throw your joystick at the monitor in outrage and it ricochets back and hits you in the face!) 

It seems all us simmers may be living in the Matrix, and may not even be aware...but isn't that the point? (Hmmm....quite the metaphysical conundrum isn't it?).  For me personally, I'm still waiting for Trinity to come up to me in a nightclub and tell me life-changing secrets...I'll let you guys know if that ever happens.  But of course by then, they would have already cut the hard line🙂

EDIT:

Now that I think about it...is it any coincidence that Duracell Batteries are the most popular?  I think they just let us believe Energizer is equal with their cute bunny...they carefully analyzed our brain patterns in the 1st Matrix and determined we just love us some cute bunnies...seems exactly how a computer would think!  Next we'll notice that Flightsim 2024 will reach 80% perfection with all simmers...because as anyone knows (that's chatted with the Architect Agent Smith), making it 100% perfect would be ...a disaster.

 

I knew it. You are the one.

All of this, yes. Potentially true.

SteveDra possibly either having too much coffee of just simply high on life: absolutely true.

I recently lost my real job of 15 years, so in between beta testing the 777 and looking for a new job, I came here to see if I could boost my like count...the real goal of any forum junkie. 🙂   Its a good distraction, as is flying the 777, but right now she's in cruise, I handed the yoke to my relief crew and just about to hit the crew rest bunk.  I gotta' be sharp when I land her in XXXX after a 14 hour flight.  (how's that for getting back on the subject of flightsimming?, hehe).

Friendly bantering about all things si-fi and movie trivia is an ultimate distraction, and as you can see....

If you see me starting to glow, warp the scene around me as I come back to life after being shot a dozen times point blank with a Desert Eagle...then start flying...be scared.

 

And if you ever find yourself in this situation...just stand behind me... "I'll handle them"

Touchê! And what an epiphany I just had: I spent 3 hours super-sampling -editing that one post in order to avoid self-incrimination and get this thread closed, blissfully unaware that I missed a golden opportunity of upping my forum reputation. O

Ah yes. Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. It was *I* who started a thread veiled as a techie discussion in order to bring in fellow sci-fi and audiophiile lovers!

Oh no, plz, not again this «a human eye can only see 30Hz» bull... it is wrong in so many aspects it hurts reading this over and over again...

While I try to do the opposite and close this thread with my ridiculously overbearing film references....remember I'm Rebel Scum...and just like a tornado, chaos follows me wherever I go.

However, when I'm calm, relaxed, and focused on a task other than destroying Avsim threads from the likes of Evil Empire officers....I paint these thingies....(call it Light side of the Force, LOL)

And forum rep is everything...there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of innovative ways to up it (hehe...jk of course)

I beg to differ and would like to humbly venture an opinion that I would much rather discuss such metaphysical phenomena with that lady from that world not allowed heinous sacrilegious helmet-boy flick. 

Oh a agree...she was a hottie!

Voiced by the late, and very great Joan Rivers.  RIP Funny lady.

and the good news is: the pc industry will stay healthy as long as it continues to improve performance as it did in recent years with 100% fps increase if even a $ 4.000 gaming machine is not enough. they owe their existence to gamers like us who after spending north of $ 4.000 for their latest 7800x3D/RTX4090/VR toys will still happily spend the same amount every couple of years. funny only for those with no family to support or mortgage to pay off. 

I feel it's about time they release MSFS2024. the captains are getting bored flying their same planes to the same airports reading the same CTD threads for 4 years now. 😅

You're coming dangerously close to plagiarism of the Emperor.  I, as a Rebel Scum can do that...all day long...You on the other hand, may get a little electro-massage therapy from the man himself if you keep it up.  I'm pretty sure in in chapter 3 of your Welcome to  the EMPIRE handbook, it clearly suggests that you treat the Emperor with reverence and complete obedience, and never mock him.  I recall, after I dropped out of Empire School, that in the indoctrination lecture they mentioned much of the same.

I do not wish to see you perish....but if it's your destiny, so be it.

 

Just out of curiosity is it upto Asobo to make MSFS run as best as possible on a stock setup only and then up to 3rd party developers to achieve their own best results?

  Or is it up to Asobo to build the best possible base sim and include every feature needed by 3rd party devs to achieve the "holy grail" in simming parlance?

I don't play any other game or sim so I've lost touch which other games and whether there is an expectation for the developer to accommodate 3rd party devs as much as we flight simmers do of the MSFS devs.
