Can you get an inflatable girl in MSFS?


Probably. these guys are the ones that seem to know all that crap, though.

I used to fly sims quite a bit back when my daughter was first born ( to wean
me off the post-partum- discontinued-real-piloting ) and I got paid as a beta
tester and evaluator for market research. Which also helped me tolerate the
withdrawl.

Maybe we can get the manic-boy hooked up and paid.

$352 per hour to rent a plane? What're you comparing this to,
renting a Caravan?

And where I live, you can get the Private *and* Instrument ratings for
around $10K.

I find it incredible that you have spent the equivalent of 4.3 MONTHS

can't decide whether that's awesome, sick, or both...

thats 2 hours a day, everyday.

I spend about that much time watching TV or being on the internet in a
typical day.

Maybe you should simulate being respected.

It's kinda what he does.


Kind of his only good point. His delusion allows a self sufficiency tht
allows him to live with himself.


Almost impressive if you don't consider the state that it has him in.

MX is a harmless (if persistent) lad, and you guys are polluting every
thread on this group with your competition to see who can most
creatively insult him. PLEASE give it a rest?

You have to understand, many of those people have nothing else better
in their life to do.

I remember watching this documentary about this old lady who was a
retired medical doctor who spend all her days at the casino playing
slots. After her husband died, she really had nothing to do to fill
her days. So she moved to Vegas and spends 50 hours a week playing
slots. I think I remember her saying she has lost over 3 million
dollars since she started. As much as I want to get angry, or
insulting towards her for being an idiot, I can't help but feel sorry
for her. The same goes for all those people that truly have nothing
better to do with their time that to follow around another usenet
poster, replying to EVERY single post with juvenile insults. Because
the two aren't too far apart in the dumb-ness factor.

Re MX -- he has also spent some considerable time offering his
writings for our benefit -- 100 odd this month, 5700 lifetime,
according the "about this group" button. A non pilot is one of the
most frequent posters to an aviation/piloting group: how wierd is
that?

If you don't have a real life, simulating one is an alternative, I
suppose.
