Nice try, but REAL airplanes shut down with control-C.

You don't shut down using the p-leads, you use the fuel mixture. If you
don't have one, simply turn off the fuel. Fuel is supplied by the black
cable that plugs into the wall. Simply pull that plug, and your plane will
shut down.

Mine keeps running for more than 2 hours. Am I doing something wrong?

Switch to Microsoft Windows. No way that will run 2 hours.

Ah! you've got Aux tanks.... you'll need to unplug that fuel wire also.

I found out that, if I don't pay my electric bill, my plane runs out of fuel

Install a Variac, so the computer mixture can be adjusted. I wonder how
long the computer will run lean of peak>

Shutting down your plane with Alt-F4 is very dangerous. The engine
will be running again next time someone starts up, and they could be
injured by the unexpected whirling pixels.

The other day I was flying my Jodel and I needed to pee. Pressing
"Pause" failed to stop everything so I could go to the bathroom, and
the bathroom was nowhere in sight, either. What is wrong with my
airplane?

I once had an instructor that simply used a 2 liter soda bottle, but you
could strap one of these to your chair instead....A convenient, spill-proof
portable urinal that can also be used for motion sickness. ... Sporty's

You need a relief tube. For a simulator a gallon pickle jar
will work.

Found the problem. It was a broken pee lead.

That would also be the instructor whose nickname was "Pencil Dick"?

Nah, this instructor was a pretty nice guy... you must be thinking of
Needle's brother.
