I don't use cell phones while operating vehicles.

Probably never even heard of an E6B, have you?

MSFS doesn't simulate partial-G situations in extreme turbulence where
small objects might work themselves loose.

A great thing to add to MSFS would be the seat sliding backward on
takeoff. A friend of mine's father tested an airplane for a buyer, and
as he rotated for takeoff the seat slid all the way backward such that
he couldn't reach the rudder pedal. Fortunately, he managed to not pull
the yoke back with him and cause departure spin.

That would be a spectacular failure to model for a flight simulator.


This has been a long time issue in adjustable light plane seats,
especially Cessna seats. The issue at one time was so prevalent we added
a mandatory seat pin check to the run up checklist to insure any seat
adjustments made after entering the airplane were solidly made with the
pins in the locking holes.

I suggest even today that this check be made when flying any airplane
with a sliding seat.
