MSFS should have been coded for the DVD tray to open and punish the flyer who did something amiss.

MSFS got as good as it is, and as popular as it has, because we have asked to keep pushing the envelope generation after generation. As technology capabilities increase, thus does the opportunity to increase realism.

One of the realities of 'flight sim' use v RW piloting is the complete absence of meaningful consequences in flight simming.   I try to address this thru artificial means, namely the flight management scoring routines in A Pilot's Life and Self-Loading Cargo and those help keep my head in the flight for sure.  I wouldn't mind seeing some even beefier consequences for example for hard landings where you damage gear those apps would restrict use of the plane involved for a week for repairs or something along those lines.  Easy to imagine a day in flight simming when hail damage to the aircraft causes related failures.  Or when a goose strike into a jet engine does what it can do, things of that nature will eventually happen and could happen now were there interest in such.   

You just need one of these...  Go to 25 seconds in when he gets thrown out of the seat 😂

 

The topic is a discussion about hail. If it drifts away from that the chances of it being locked are very high.

No more discussion about blocking fellow members please or people over-reacting.

Criticizing dissent is never a good look

The problem with making blanket statements is that it's pretty easy to prove them wrong. There are plenty of examples of stupid and/or illegal dissent that are absolutely legitimate targets for criticism.

If you don't agree with what the city council did and you protest by holding a sign in the parking lot, that's a legitimate expression of dissent. If you don't agree with what the city council did and so you shoot the mayor, that's another story.  If what the city council did was prevent a child molester from opening a daycare, then dissent in any form is illegitimate and criticizing it is absurd.

If they split the forums, we would have a few people making 3 threads a week in the 2020 forum while the rest of the user base sat in the 2024 forum. That's a silly use of resources, and the current 2020/2024 forum moves slowly enough that it really only needs to be checked once every couple of days.

You have perfectly legitimate reasons for not choosing to buy 2024, but one of the consequences of that decision is that you will no longer own the thing everyone else wants to talk about, at least at first. The rest of the world should not need to reshape itself to suit your desired discussion topics.

The rather massive irony behind that statement is that the 'new' forum is doing just that to the previous one. Literally by renaming and repurposing it to a new one that according to you is ok because there are only a few old codgers using it anyway.

The king is dead long live the king etc. Except the king is not actually dead he's being replaced while still live and kicking.

If you seriously think there would be only 3 or posts a WEEK in a dedicated MSFS 2020 forum I'm actually stunned. You can not believe that?

I'd be there making a post once a day for a start, talking about actual flight simming. It's not even my favourite sim lol. Haven't used it more than a couple times in the last month. 

On the subject of dangerous weather, like this thread, I'm all for being virtually terrified in my sim by weather I was too lazy to prepare for. Or too cocky to avoid. It needs to look, sound and feel real though.

It needs to be potentially flight ending.
