  1. this is a Fight Sim Forum so lets make this all about that
  2. Yea Easter is about CHOCOLATE 🐰
  3. It won't be hard to find you when your robbery becomes a Meme 🤣
  4. Yes no way of knowing but due to its gravity the core would have tremendous forces on it, so likely extremely hot motlen liquids, just what I think though. It is our solar systems vacuum cleaner and sucks in most objects which likely turns them into a liquid form as they burn up, which is part what protects our earth from celestial objects
  5. Jupiter doesn't have a surface though, it is a gas planet, if you fell into its gravity you wouldn't land on a surface there isn't one
  6. I've been calling these guys Pigs in Space this week... Because yea, just a bunch of Muppets with Money 🤣
  7. Mine in only $1360 since 2010, I thought it would be a lot more, but my MSFS purchases are outside Steam. My average spend is in the $5 to $35 range as I only purchase during Steam Sales This has been on my Steam List for a while now, I will admit the previous releases were amazing, I'll grab it on the next Steam Sale (I should have the last sale) I also noticed someone is doing another B-17 Simulator as well, that one was also an amazing WW2 sim from back in the 90s too, you could jump around between the crew and take control of the gunners, or flight deck, bombers, navigator etc UBOAT and B-17 pretty much sums up my 90s 😁
  8. Nothing that exciting, but since I am a railroad fan I am playing: 1) Railroader. This one is still Early Access but to be honest the most addictive Train Sim I have found so far. It is more operations based but very interactive, takes place in Appalachia during the 1950s Steam to Diesel era 2) Transport Fever 2. This one is just addictive 3) Railroads Online. This was more fun during Early Access now that it is full release I have moved on, but still have a go at it sometimes 4) Fishing: North Atlantic. This one is in Nova Scotia where I used to live so I get to fish my old stomping grounds 5) Farm Simulator 2022. Haven't got the latest yet waiting for a Steam Sale 6) Truck Simulator USA and Europe. Best Time Waster Ever 7) MSFS 2024. Surprisingly I spend very little time on Flight Sim after decades of addiction, 20 years ago I dreamed of what we have accomplished today, but now that it has acheived unimaginable realism I have lost interest, this is what happens when you become spoiled I guess.
  9. Let us just make this very clear, they are not 'Crew' and they are not 'Astronauts' they are Passengers and they are Space Tourists. Just because you fly to Jamaica on an Airliner that doesn't make you a 'Pilot' or 'World Explorer' you are just a Passenger and Tourist
  10. Yes it does if there is a very basic failure (Fuel Starvation etc). If there is a catastrophic failure and autorotation isn't working there is nothing you can do. I agree this look like something catastrophic, this model of helicopter doesn't have a history of Mast Bumping and these wind conditions should not have been a contributor to Mast Bumping, so yea looks like something catastrophic happened mechanically. It will take time to know fore sure. I am suspicous of the maintanence on these tourist operations and they are heavily used with short flights, so lots of abuse on them
  11. Scary flying along level flight to a free fall, which is experiencing 1 G-Force to zero G-Force in the free fall, the roll is slow so disorienting, I wouldn’t wan5 to be in that situation which is why helicopters never appealed to me. I’ve been in a forced landing experience in an old Otter due to engine failure and walked away from that, when you lose an engine you can glide in, helicopters fall from the sky your options are far more limited
  12. I’d seen Cowboy War as well, it’s good just strange they shot it in Canada that looks nothing like Tombstone. This is a good interview, nice find 👍 Val Kilmore was great at playing Doc as well, absolutely the best portrayal I enjoy all these films, I’m crazy enough to take a vacation to Tombstone someday, hopefully when I retire, I’d put a flower on the grave for China Mary at Boothill, she took care of a lot of people in that town, I tell her story in New Zealand because it’s an inspiring immigrants tale, more to that history than just the cowboys
  13. I caught this in Netfilx recently, nothing says it better then a good documentary, those old western films never tell the other side of those events. I am a fan of that part of history as well but the big picture is better then the stereotype film portrayals
  14. Maybe someone kept one of his roaches as a souvenir from back then, it will still have some DNA on it 🤣 Martin Scorsese is supposed to be doing a movie about Jerry, and Jonah Hill is supposed to play Jerry (intersting). Reason for that is Martin Scorsese use to follow and film The Dead back in the 70s, so a way for him to complete that circle in his life.
  15. Yup just breeding dogs like we have for centuries now, they haven't cracked the DNA code 🤣
