"To the delight of their detractors, they would have had to change the title to 'Flight Simulator 2025'." I like the sound of MSFS 2025 better, they should have done that anyways!

Isn't MSFS a simulation, not a game, as we've been corrected many times on this forum? If it were nominated, it would officially classify it a -'Game'- ! The horror! 🫣

98% or more of us have never heard airliner sounds sitting in the cockpit, only from the passenger sections. We're used to the thrill of the loud/Louder/LOUDEST growl, whine, sonic buzz, and ROAR of the engines while we're getting shoved hard back in our seats like we're in a sports car we can't afford. We live for that moment! It's just a neural letdown to shove the throttle forward and have our aural senses being served the sound of a Corolla backing out of a driveway. Realistic for pilots, yes. Realistic for the rest of us, nah. Make our ears bleed, please !!

As an aside, remember when PC Programs/Games came in boxes and discs to install? So nice. Warm, fuzzy nostalgia looking at the BATC box above.........

^^^^ Remember many years ago when everyone complained about the cable tv (and other) monopolies where you had to buy 'all' the channels to get the ones you liked? 'We want a la carte! We want a la carte!' Should have been more careful in what we wished for maybe..........
