As an aside...I do this too...I have always restarted the sim if I plan to do another flight in a different airplane. I always just considered it "best practice", I did that in P3D and FSX too.

You remind me of all of the (painful) times I have stubbed my toe on some flight sim equipment! 😀 That's what I get for simming in socks For my footstool-mounted Virpil I plan to store a 20lb dumbbell on a ledge on the bottom of the footstool. It'll give it some heft to counterbalance the collective, and give me a place to store that dumbbell out of the way. Should be very portable, I'll take the dumbbell out if I move it around. If I'm not flying a helo, I can even pump iron while I'm in cruise heh. To your point though I may staple or glue some carpet to the sides of the footstool in case I do bump into it.

One thing I like about these random flight generators is that sometimes you end up finding an airport or approach that you have never flown before and it turns out to be really interesting and fun. Like KANB. (anniston, Alabama). The random flight site gave me that as a destination, so I flew there. I had no idea there was a mountain there. I always thought Anniston was too far south for the mountains, but no, there is one there, and I got vectored right over it, and at least one of the approaches takes you over it or very near it. I was pleasantly surprised. I was gawking at the scenery a little on approach I must admit, glad I was sim flying and not for real.

Virpil collective does not need to be chair-mounted. I'm actually building a modified footstool set next to my chair with the collective attached to the footstool. It should be portable, quick, and I don't have to mess with my chair.

Whew 36C is up there with 5,000+ ft elevation. Fly at dawn this time of year I guess. At least they're not sweating too bad, the dewpoint is only 8C there.

Potentially is the key word 757's are/were hot rods, they could/can get out of some hot and high locations. That may be one reason for some people.

Will it look bad if you run a resolution that is NOT your display's native resolution? Or is that no longer a problem these days

That's some of the Miltech scenery isn't it? The Amphib Ready Group scenery? I have some of their stuff but not the ARG. That's pretty cool, I need to get that one. Are there any U.S. Coast Guard cutter sceneries that you know of? Like a landable cutter (either High Endurance cutter or Medium Endurance)?

....or aprons/tarmacs I guess. But I would think to some extent you can land on dirt or whatever.

I may have mentioned this in this thread earlier....but one time I visited Cali and it was about 95 degrees in Sacramento. I drove into San Fran and it was about 60 degrees...same day...not that far apart. It's pretty neat. Another time in Washington / Friday Harbor during summertime, I could stand near the water, and feel the coolness radiating off the cold water, meanwhile the air temperature ...away from the water....was about 75 degrees. Amazed me. If you're on the island running around and get hot, simply go to the water. No need to get in. You will cool off just standing near it. Natural A/C.

Yes, we have the New Madrid Fault, sitting right beneath me.

Darwin Award is all I can say. I hope he recovers, I haven't been tossed by a buffalo before, but I have fallen down a mountain, and it's no fun.
