Default Sims

I have to admin I'm somewhat of a MSFS geek. *... My cockpit has a beer
holder, and I can tell everybody for the record that the bottle-to-throttle
rule is a damned good idea!


Heh heh heh... At Movie Night last Tuesday we had a special
"Christmas Edition" that included egg nog with either rum or cognac in
it.

As the egg nog took effect I noticed an increased propensity for
people to pancake the F/A-18 in while landing. I also noticed that
watching that 104" screen go round-and-round was getting quite
nauseating...

;-)

*(I could have asked wife for a pee bottle for
Christmas.


Can't do that here -- mixed company, and all. When someone has to pee
we just let the next guy/gal start flying. Plenty of copilots in the
room!

Haven't seen X working at full speed/full resolution, though.


Me, neither. I've got the fastest computer money could buy last year,
and this year's fastest video card, and I STILL can't run everything
at full resolution with any kind of smoothness.

Some people are ****ed about this, but -- now that Microsoft got MSFS
X working properly -- I'm glad they built in room to "stretch" as
computer hardware improves in the future.
