I know that I am right and you are wrong. I don't care if you have over
20,000 hours on the computer and I have never even sat in an airplane. You
can not possibly be correct.

My perception of reality on the computer is clearly superior to any real
life experience or knowledge compared to anyone in the world.

You must be wrong about the bugs- can you prove to me that bugs exist? They
never appear on MSFS.


All microsoft products have bugs silly.

Maybe your airplane needs a Microsoft Window...


But sometimes without warning, everything you see in it freezes or it turns
opaque blue, and you see the words "fatal error" written across it.

Then your only choice is to shut off the engine, and then try a restart.

That's another "feature". It simulates a near death experience for
you.

Every time I fly one of my real airplanes, I get bugs on the windshield and
wings. I'm confused about this because MSFS doesn't have bugsplats on the
screen.

What is wrong with my real airplanes? How do I avoid getting bugs on the
windshield? There must be something wrong with reality, because it doesn't
happen in MSFS. Yet, it seems to happen every time I fly in the summer.

I know that it can't be happening, because my monitor never has any bugs on
it after I play MSFS. So, what is wrong with reality?


Ask MXSMANIC, I think he get bug like spots on his windscreen by tossing
over the monitor! A true ****** he is!

Don't let PETA Find out about our bug smashing they may try and get us to
stop killing the bugs.

You're supposed to make flying sounds when flying MSFS. The spit on
the screen will make it match your real airplane.

Apparently you don't have all the hardware you need. If not already
available, I'm sure USB bug, rain and hail slingers will be available soon.

That's 'cause they spray PAM on their monitors like the RV drivers do in
Mississippi and Louisiana. That way the bugs wipe right off the monitor.
When those guts dry up, it's like glue.

By the way, a great way to simulate IMC in MSFS is to cover the top half of
your display with Whiteout.

Yeah... Microsoft products NEVER have bugs! Ask Mr. Gates.

In the real world, bugs don't cause your airplane to reboot.

Unfortunately, a bug in the bug code prevents the bugs bugging you. It's
not a bug, it's a feature.



I must have flown through a swarm of features when I landed at Coeur d'Alene
last night. Had to clean 'em off the monitor before the return trip.

The price of fuel has helped keep a LOT of bugs off my windshield.


Dammit you guys, I'm trying to drink coffee here!
