I can replace a person with a dog?

A sad day when 2024 first came out and Captain Whiskers disappeared. Now new and improved at a store near you.

My IRL dog considers it his solemn duty to “help me” hold those pesky rudder pedals still! 😂

I wish we had even more options to add accessories to our cockpits. No different than in American or European Truck Simulator, especially for us VR bush flyers.

I find it amusing that you're perfectly comfortable calling products like GSX and Navigraph ridiculous

No no no sir, I absolutely wasn't! 👍

I absolutely understand how critical GSX and Navigraph charts are for a lot of simmers. My point was about personal perspective and opinion. To me GSX and Navigraph are a "waste of money" for how I use the sim.

And in the same way, the Got-Friends avatars will be a gimmick and a waste of money for some but for those who actually take their animals on their GA flights (quite a few do, although not in the front seat I'd hope!) or perhaps want to simulate a loved but lost pet, it has real value.

My point was about subjectivism versus objectivism and 'shades of grey' rather than 'black or white'.

I loved AV Angel's review so much I bought it. But, it has no installation manual. How in the *&%$! do I install it? There's no manual on their site, nothing in the ZIP file, this is just plain i-g-n-o-r--a-n-t as I ain't an expert on these kinds of things. Just a bunch for files, no exe, nothing. UGH! I ain't pleased.

It goes in your Community folder, then Main Screen/Profile/Copilot and choose your furry friend. Load a flight and in the top toolbar there's a paw print icon. There you can position as needed.

Thank you. I’ll try it. Why do they make things without a manual? I’m not an expert like most here.

Thanks again, to me it’s terrific. Now I can have Ratchet flying with me. The interface is easy to use and elegant. For $9.99 US it was well worth it.

Nowadays that's not difficult!

" Load a flight and in the top toolbar there's a paw print icon. "

Soon there will be an official paw print on every flight plan filed. 🐱
